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?
That’s how it looks to me.
Christians: “Even before birth, all human beings have the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory[.]”
Trans people: [Exist]
Christians: No, not like that…
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.

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.
What I like is the image of God. What I don’t like is the work of Satan.
You sure? In the whole bible Satan kills 10 people in total, because God tells him to, and even Satan is having second thoughts about doing Job so dirty, meanwhile God makes his arrows drunk with blood.
Oh I know, my favorite old testament law: If you neighbour strives against you and is raining blows down upon you; if your wife grabs him by the genitals to delivery you from your assailant you must cut off her hand. Show no mercy. < is that the image of god you like?
You guys need to recognize sarcasm. I was speaking for the judge from the OP.

Setting aside the fact neither exist… in popular mythology, god is generally responsible for far more atrocities such as genocide, plagues, etc. Satan or the devil on the other hand is largely a scapegoat created by god to blame for the evil he creates in the world.
Mythology is some crazy stuff
You’ve seen a platypus, right?
Hey now - you just keep right on drivin’.
Seems like the whole thing is in direct contradiction with the establishment clause.
Our entire form of government is antithetical to Christianity. Christians need to keep that religious shit to their homes and churches.
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…
