Alabama governor:

"Today, I signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act. To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious & that every life is a sacred gift from God."

I completely expect the Supreme Court to step in and fix this, by the way.

These assholes are not pro quality of life, just pro birth.

They don't give a shit about livable wages, and are still trying to gut health care, don't give a shit about feeding kids at school. And they give more rights to an object firearm than a non violent pot smoker.

Shithole Alabama, where the women are not free. Shithole Alabama, the Christian Taliban is coming to thee.

Alabama is one of the most religious states, but 2007-2014 absolute certainty in the existence of God went from 85% to 82%, belief in heaven went from 87% to 84%, belief in hell went from 78% to 72%; but the trend in Alabama is also towards becoming more conservative in that same period. The percentage of 'Nones' is 12%, but I didn't come across the percentage for that in 2007. They have more atheists than Mormons.

IMHO, I think they see that they aren't going to keep an overwhelming majority of like-minded right-wing Christians in the long run and are grabbing power for themselves and their positions while they still can. Whatever they get away with now, I think it will be reversed in ten years.

Some think it is better for me to post outside the DNA thread. I guess it is just a matter of opinion.

To clarify, I'd like to see you start new threads, not hijack/sidetrack existing ones, for instance this one, which is not about whether abortion is right or wrong. If you participated in a thread on that topic (and it's not like we never have threads on that topic), it would not be 'hijacking'.

Makes me pine for axolotl tanks.

I didn't mean to hijack or sidetrack any discussion.  That is why I recommended a gun thread be created since this one was sidetracked so much.

I expect Chief Justice Roberts would side with the liberal judges. He's crossed the aisle before.

Not that often though, despite what the media would have you believe. And usually he only crosses when the liberal side are more corporate friendly than the conservative side.
