American Taliban showing its true face. Those women who vote for Trump are voting for the quick removal of their human rights, and the return to the 1940's, when women were clearly second class citizens.

This is the where useless right wing extremism is hurting real people WHO WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN.

Religion is a personal choice. You want to live your life following the bible. That's cool.

You want me to live my life following the bible? You're fkg nuts.

Religious extremists don't care who they hurt in the process of telling EVERYONE how to live their lives.

Of course they are. They've been saying that for decades. I take them at their word. I take Trump and MAGA at their word to do every nasty thing they have said they will do and, after a period of getting the ordinary evil done, be inspired to yet further heights.

Bible-quoting Alabama chief justice sparks church-state debate in embryo ruling
apnews.com

... When the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are considered children under state law, its chief justice had a higher authority in mind.

By citing verses from the Bible and Christian theologians in his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker alarmed advocates for church-state separation, while delighting religious conservatives who oppose abortion.

Human life, Parker wrote, "cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself." ...

What the bible says isn't important to republicans.

The GOP is so Pro-Life, they are shutting down the Fertility Clinics.

This is like when PETA shows their support for animal rights by murdering your pets, because slavery is a fate worse than death.

So God says murdering someone is wrong because it makes him look bad?
Some ego there.

"I'm all for it. We need to have more kids!" - Sen. Tommy Tuberville, ruler of women, wannabe doctor, somehow thinks IVF is like having an abortion

The modern GOP is so embedded in the septic tank it doesn't look like they're ever coming out.

LOL ------- (the fraud and sexual predator) is now begging the Alabama legislature to do something to protect IVF.

Hey -------, this is your party, this is who you are leading, they are doing what they said they want to do-fetal personhood. You were too lazy and stupid to understand that. They kissed your brown ring and got you to put justices on that overturned RvW. THIS is exactly what they want as a next step.

You don't get to act surprised, and NOONE should believe you give 2 ----- about IVF.

We all know if you gain a 2nd term and somehow control congress you will pass a nationwide abortion ban.

And even if you DON'T control congress your administration will do A LOT to destroy reproductive freedom for all Americans INCLUDING getting rid of prescription abortion pills AND allowing fetal personhood to become a movement. The whole white christian nationalist movement is designed for that. Stack the administrative state (project 2025) with effective true believers, get rid of any roadblocks, ignore congress and the courts and begin initiating policies like this. It is what your supporters are saying they will do and you will do whatever sycophant ass kisser wants after they bow to your ego.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Republicans are scum.
