When Alabama's Supreme Court defined frozen embryos as children, the shock and confusion was immediate. Major hospitals pulled fertility services and would-be parents scrambled for clarity on what would happen next.

The debate over reproductive rights in America has long been driven, in part, by opposition to abortion from Christian groups - but this ruling has divided that movement and ignited debate about the role of theology in US lawmaking.

So Alabama's supreme court can rule on mere belief?

“Even before birth, all human beings have the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory,” Chief Justice Tom Parker wrote.

That's how it looks to me.

Seems like the whole thing is in direct contradiction with the establishment clause.

It seems clear at this point they no longer care about the law or precedent or tradition, they just want to punish and subjugate people they don't like.

If only SCOTUS didn't have a right-wing religious majority...

[–] Coach@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Our entire form of government is antithetical to Christianity. Christians need to keep that religious shit to their homes and churches.

I boggles the mind, this image of god nonsense. If we are made in gods image then gods image also includes Meth addicts and sexual offenders? God must be one crazy bugger.

Hey now - you just keep right on drivin’.

I would love to know what this so called justice official's stance is on the Death Penalty; for or against.

I will look it up later as I am being lazy at the moment.
