    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

      They’re not quoting the Bible to support this, because the Bible doesn’t say anything to oppose abortion. They’re just making shit up

        In fact, the bible doesn’t recognize a baby as life until birth, and supports abortion under various circumstances

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

    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.

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

    Right…?

    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.

        In context, the Bible explicitly gives instructions for an abortion.

        Specifically for when the woman has “been unfaithful,” or the man merely suspects it, much less a rape victim or any of a dozen other factors.

        It also clearly defined life as beginning with the first breath.

        The fundamentalists are just lying about this. As always.

    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.

    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?

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