Hmm, this guy does make a good point.


"..Being religious should be automatic disqualification from holding public office in a secular society, I don't care if you're in Alabama or New York, it's against the public interest to elect people that have non-negotiable beliefs that could influence them. .."
  That would not bother me a bit. However that could probably be expanded to some other areas as well. And to some other kinds of people.

There are somethings beyond "state's rights", to be a country we have to have a national standards for the big basics, reproduction is one of those.

However if I can't hold office in this secular society because of my beliefs perhaps I should not be bound by the laws this secular society passes because of my beliefs...

"...On Wednesday Republicans for Ukraine announced a "six-figure digital ad" campaign aimed at the 10 House Republicans they seem most likely to sign a discharge petition. A discharge petition, which would require the support of 218 House members including at least four Republicans, could allow the aid package to go to a vote without Johnson's backing. Supporters of Ukraine are confident they have the numbers needed to pass the package in the House if they can get it to a vote.

Speaking to Newsweek, Republicans for Ukraine spokesperson Gunner Ramer said: "For generations, the Republican Party prided itself on standing up to dictators and leading the free world. Many Republicans, including many in Congress, still identify with that party and that role for America. Right now the critical issue in the world is whether free countries will help defeat Putin in Ukraine..."

it might be upheld at the Supreme Court of the United States as well. But is it a fetus or an embryo?

You could always move to russia, like those Canadians did.    It is the non-negotiable part that is at issue. Democracy requires compromise, if you cannot compromise your beliefs then you have no business in government at any level.

At the point in question, an embryo.   

But I guess if you are in AL and have 40 of them frozen then you can take all 40 as child tax deductions now.

As backwards as Alabama is in many respects it is unfortunately still superior to North Carolina. It's even very hard to get medical marijuana in this state of North Carolina. Even the alcohol laws are backwards and convoluted.

I can't see how an embryo unfertilized could be considered a human being. That's like saying a spermatozoa is a human being.

It would appear that the state of Alabama has gone too far. Also in the area of pharmaceuticals and biological sciences it will put Alabama at the very back of the pack.

They haven't gone that far yet but I suspect they might.

I am no so sure that the plan is not to run off everyone but the loons from "red" states so they can create little right wing enclaves.

Oh no, there will be no enforcement against men, this is all about controlling women.
