the opinion here is just a little bit theocratic
You can’t theologically base views you goddamned wankers.
Somehow this logic won’t be applied to executions, because these people are hypocrites even with their sky God mumbo jumbo.
So what they’re saying is the law only applies to Christians? Satanists are plenty happy with abortions and contraceptives, surely they’d get a pass if their religious texts encourage it.
Infinity punishment for finite transgressions is kinda the whole point of modern Christianity.
Humans have an infinite value yet Alabama has the death sentence.
Unborn humans. Once they’re out of the womb they can go fuck themselves.
Then let the wrath of a holy God judge me and fuck off until that happens.

Meanwhile doing everything in their power to increase poverty and suffering.
In college my friends and I had this epiphany about pregnancy. Under the (typically) conservative mindset, all life is deserving to reach birth and to prevent that is itself akin to murder. So with that in mind, shouldn’t we be putting fetus’ on trial when they absorb the other fetus in utero? I mean, the absorbing fetus is literally murdering the absorbed one. And we just let these murderers walk around free for their whole life?
It sure is fun taking bad logic and applying normal logic on top of it. The results are often as silly as the concept.
Take it to the extreme; most eggs fertilized in sex don’t result in pregnancy, they aren’t able to bind to the uteral lining and die. Anyone who has unprotected sex is very likely to cause the death of one or more “people.” Having children is now murder.

Manslaughter charges for the baby if childbirth kills the mother
Or just let the mother-to-be charge her insurance at hospital rates for all the blood transfusions and other health care she’s giving the fetus.
(As a bit of completely unwarranted pedantry — and I’m not a lawyer — most crimes in the US and other common law countries have a mental component (mens rea). This means that e.g. to be guilty of manslaughter you must have chosen to do something willfully harmful or at least unacceptably dangerous, such as attacking someone or driving drunk. So fetuses and babies cannot be guilty of those crimes. Of course, the “charge your insurance” thing probably doesn’t work either.)
Would this apply to sperm as well? If so I’m a mass murderer. The sock strangler lmfaoooo.
Exactly what I was thinking. The idiots enforcing this are probably mass murderers
So, their next step is to treat abortion as an intentional murder, I guess. I can’t imagine otherwise given this.
They’re not even trying to hide their christo-facism anymore. Completely un-american, what a disgrace.
Seems like a great way to shut down fertility clinics across the state as the political risk of getting charged for killing a child is too high.
Way to go Alabama, now all the Christians that were using science to try to usurp God’s will that they not have children will have to travel out of state. They might even feel like the intrinsic risk of failure to conceive using alternative means is itself too great to stay in Alabama and will just move thereby further negatively impacting your state’s economy. But hey! At least you saved the frozen cells!
