That judge should be removed from the bench. Clearly, he is inserting his religious beliefs into his rulings
AL better vote for freedom by voting out every Republican! tRump's party won't be happy until women are jailed and forced to have children.
GET OUT AND VOTE BLUE WOMEN! THIS BEHAVIOUR IS JUST THE START!!
It’s mind blowing that any woman would vote for these ignorant monsters!!!
Trump is a disgrace…Vote Blue 🗳️
God did not create a government. Our founders did not want a theocracy and that's why they came here. This judge is just another maniacal religious monster.
Steve Marshal is a republican, so he is lying. You cant trust anything a republican says.
The chief Justice just told us what the issue is, and we're still talking about reproductive rights while the Dominionists are poised to impose a Christofascist theocracy on us.
If you don't believe it can happen, look at what Orban is doing in Hungary.
Republicans had voters in a frenzy over "Sharia law" for decades. Sharia means religious. Now they're imposing religious law, and people don't recognize it.
I wonder who she voted for
His verbal promise isn't worth anything. Check in with Texas law. Texas left a loop hole, "if parents life was in danger, abortion was avalible". According to Texas supreme court you are never in danger. Two women had to travel out of state to get medical help. God help poor people. GOP wont.
He will not prosecute until Trump goes on truth social and tell him too.
Wait, he's just not going to follow the Supreme Court? I disagree with his reasoning, but the institutions are supposed to be such that one person can't stop enforcement of societies laws as determined by the highest court in the jurisdiction. Are we really living in a place where the laws are just 'not enforced'? If the laws are not good, it takes less than one day to change it (we passed lots of laws on 9/12)
What happen to seperation of church and state? US cannot condem Islamic nations now
God did not create the government. People created God, because of their childish fear of the universe.
— " I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own — a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. " ( Albert Einstein )
— " Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies. " ( Thomas Jefferson )
— " Religion is a byproduct of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity? " ( Arthur C. Clarke )
— " The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma. " ( Abraham Lincoln )
I agree with all of them and many others. I am saddened that some people have such a fear of being only a human biological creature, that they force others to adhere to the fear of death. Make the most of the time you have, and make the world a safer, healthier, better place. That must be the self appointed task of the majority if we are to avoid misery and the early death of millions of people you would have liked to have met.
This old man needs to retire! Alabama is holding my frozen child hostage!!
You are all being lied to. This law does not prevent parents from using IVF treatment. It holds IVF clinics responsible for embryos and that only couples can sue if their embryos are destroyed via negligence by the clinic. This law is based on three couples who sued a clinic (Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Mobile) where a patient entered an unsecured area and destroyed sets of embryos. This law will protect the embryos and hold the clinics liable for negligence. Do your own research, stop believing propaganda.
Hahaha your country is such a joke.
Next: The Alabama "Fruit of the Loins case" which will require men to wear boxers, and outlaw briefs on the theory that they reduce sperm production.
NEVER TRUST A REPUBLICAN ON THEIR WORD
As many have noted, “trust me bro” means nothing. Especially when AGs change, and that doesn’t mean a city, county, etc prosecutor won’t charge people with crimes. Keep this topic in the news for the vileness it represents.
They must be Trump Supporters…See be nice to people and they will be nice to you
First they came for…and then they came for ME. Soon your family and neighbors and co-workers will be turning these families in for the "reward". Sound familiar?
"Morality is doing what's right, no matter what you're told. Religion is doing what you're told, no matter what's right."
— HL Mencken
LOGIC. The same embryo, identical down to the last cell:
In IVF clinic: Not a child. Can be discarded.
In my uterus: A child.
Ahhhh right…. Okay… if I didn’t invite the embryo to be in my uterus. If I didn’t give my prior written consent:
then let‘s just get the embryo out my uterus. Once it’s outside, its no longer a child and can just be discarded.
This was done purposefully. Muddy up the waters. We know IVF involves destroying embryos by nature due to defects.
If it would be considered murder of a child by their new law, that would mean there are no statute of limitations right? So he could always change his mind or a new DA could always charge them right in the future right?
BUT YOU MUST! They're children, right? RIGHT??!! PROTECT THEM! ALABAMA AG DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CHILDREN!!!!
Ah… the DOUBLE STANDARDS… the HYPOCRISY!
Where is the outcry of the right about a blatantly partisan and biased attorney general,
who picks and chooses which laws he will enforce?
Completely agree with IVF. I also agree every human life is entitled to basic human rights. Be more careful with human life, and suffer the consequences if you’re neglectful or negligent with that human life. Also, no disposing of human lives because they are undesirable or have minor defects. That’s called eugenics
What came first
the chicken or the egg ?
The egg has to be “fertilized” first ,and “incubated” b4 it hatches as a chick 🐣
Human frozen fertilized embryos are not mostly viable! They are very fragile and have to be attached to the uterine wall to become viable IVF.
They are not children!
And old white men evangelicals are not viable either!
They want to control everything!
“God complex “
Keep the christian religion in church NOT the state courts !
So this the reason why Republicans are all about don't thread on me with their weapons….but its happening under their nose and they're caught off guard looking for the invisible 🫥 boogie man of faux news
