Hypocrites being hypocritical about their own hypocritical beliefs.

Fuck these hypocritical Republican Christian assholes with their “unintended” consequences.

    So the state supreme court ruled that a fertilized human egg is a human life and killing it is murder. Now the legislature is, in essence, saying murder of those innocent, unborn humans in this circumstance is okay. They care about innocent human life, but not when it might cost them votes, I guess.

    In a speech that included quotes from the Bible, the TV show Reacher, and the lyrics of 90’s rapper Vanilla Ice, Republican state Rep. Ernie Yarbrough introduced an amendment to the bill to add that “immunity will not be provided to a person who intentionally causes the death of an unborn child.”

    LMFAO Please tell me he used “ice ice baby” in a speech about frozen embryos 🤣

      So essentially they didn’t address one of the biggest issues, what to do with the remaining embryos. Seems pretty on brand for conservative legislation.

        From what I gathered the legislation was simple enough with just being two paragraphs long (imagine a world where there’s not 50 pages of bullshit and 2 ear marks to vote on) that it reads that they’re able to do whatever they want without getting in trouble for it. Keep em or toss em.

          Thanks for the clarification. I read it quickly earlier and missed the part where the amendment was voted down.

    “Life begins at conception” but embryos outside a woman’s body have no personhood rights, while embryos within a woman’s body (even those outside her uterus, in the case of ectopic pregnancy) have personhood rights that exceed those of the woman. It’s not about the embryos, it’s about controlling women’s bodies.

    And it’s really a viability argument, because if you do nothing, the IVF ones will eventually thaw out and die, and the ones in utero will live. Yet they’re unwilling to follow that argument to its logical extension of a 24-week leeway for abortion.

    So what are the odds that these voters will vote out the people that caused this mess in November? This is a rhetorical statement, as this is Alabama. The state that almost voted for a child molester over a Democrat.

    They might as well pass a law that says deaths in the meat packing industry aren’t actually criminal 🤷
