If you’re quoting Bible to justify your shitty laws, you must also prove breaking of those laws using technology from the era when Bible was written. No more ultrasounds, no more fetal heartbeat detection, no more DNA tests to prove that “person” belongs to a specific woman.

Fuck these backward assholes

I don't think that sex can be determined until after the 7th week. Did Alabama just embrace non-binary identifications for children?

All IVF patients now have 38 dependent children which should help with state taxes.

Wait, what? Are they trying to make Florida look moderate by comparison?

Gilead, here we come

If you take the most literal interpretations of the typical Christian Bible to the kinds of extremes these kinds of people want to, then they can make the argument that every single time people have sex that doesn't result in a successful childbirth, it's murder.

There's plenty of verses around stuff like "seed" that can be super abused and removed from context.

I don’t see IVF ever being performed in Alabama again. It’s sad, because a lot of hopeful couples will never get to have children because the state is run by lunatics.

So if you pay to have them saved, then you decide you’re not interested in children anymore and you destroy them, are you going to jail for murder?

Okay, so you can claim wellfare for your child minutes after you know you are pregnant, right?

Right...?

Alabama about to create a new kind of theft. Couple's embryos about to get stolen and implanted in young Christian girls who got dupped into believing the embryos are screaming to get born and that it makes God mad.

If embryo's are extra-uterine children then so is jizz.

The article is pretty tame. No mention of the bible verse used to justify this, or mention that this has implication for contraception as well.
