IVF Ruling by AL Supreme Court avoids "God's wrath"

1

From AP News:

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.”

A surprise to no one.

Lately, the right wing is doing the vast majority of such attacks… I think in 2023 in the US, pretty much all of them were by the right wing.

Just a reminder that some Evangelicals are still fighting the good fight and reminding us which lives really matter:

I remember hearing this thought experiment, and marvelling at its clarity. It’s very interesting reading it from a “good fight” Evangelical’s point of view. It’s like a breath of fresh air reading someone as they consider their views, and not simply tell me I have to believe theirs.
