According to NBC News, “Former President Donald Trump on Friday weighed in for the first time on the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling on in vitro fertilization a week ago, signaling that he opposes the decision and urging the state legislature to pass a measure to protect those services.” He’s a moron, just like every other politician calling for Alabama to “protect” IVF services. Apparently, these f***tards completely missed the subtext of the Alabama Supreme Court’s opinion. Even though the justices ruled on the wrongful death liability (not criminality) of the defendant who “killed” the embryos, the opinion was written with the criminality aspect in mind. They basically all but said disposing of an embryo is murder. Indeed, it is not just your regular murder but the murder of the image of God, who will unleash His vengeance for such heresy. Allow me to repost the peachiest part of the opinion.
In summary, the theologically based view of the sanctity of life adopted by the People of Alabama encompasses the following: (1) God made every person in His image; (2) each person therefore has a value that far exceeds the ability of human beings to calculate; and (3) human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself. Section 36.06 recognizes that this is true of unborn human life no less than it is of all other human life — that even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his [sic] glory (pp 37-38).

Does that sound like a court willing to countenance any law protecting IVF services? Seriously, what level of stupidity has to exist in the minds of politicians and other hope-casting citizens who refuse to believe the obvious: Alabama is the first theocratic state, and no amount of public outrage or political pressure is going to force RepubliKKKlans to change course. It is just a matter of time before some aspiring white Christian nationalist prosecutor brings criminal charges against the original defendants in this case or any other IVF patient and doctor involved in the process whereby an embryo was destroyed. Because, you know, there is no statute of limitation on murder. All it takes is one homicide case to come before the court for them to claim that the destruction of an embryo is criminal murder. And then all hell is going to break loose. Moreover, any legislation passed to “protect” IVF will similarly be challenged and overturned as unconstitutional because, you know, ya can’t legalize murder, or more precisely, there is no defense for terminating a clump of cells that has a “right to life.” Oh, well. The end is coming, morons. I’ve been saying this since the day RBG died. Mark my words! Welcome to stupid America!
