With embryos as people we're only an short jump away from ruining someone's life...

through a manslaughter or murder charge for killing a human being. It could be as simple as fender bender and a woman having a miscarriage shortly afterwards. If not one of those you could still face a costly lawsuit affecting your life for years. So, they're either lying about what a human being is, or they need to apply it just like you killed a baby in a baby carriage. That's what you would do for a human being especially a child. People get the death penalty for killing "children" intentionally.

And the GOP is against both.

They'd rather lock more people up. It is their solution to every thing they don't like. Lock'em up!

But what they're proposing is the end of the middle class in America. Which maybe they want too. For other people, not them.

The murder of a pregnant woman becomes the murder of two persons. The accidental death of a pregnant woman becomes the manslaughter of two persons.

The fanatics have been working on this for many years now — tugging at our heartstrings and our outrage to achieve their ultimate goal, which is where we are now.

If the court hates you you get crucified. If it likes you, you get little or nothing.

You know, like how the Stand Your Ground defense works now.

10. "Seven Mountain Mandate," which calls on Christians to impose fundamentalist values on all aspects of American life
Wed Feb 21, 2024, 08:38 PM

The “Seven Mountain Mandate,” which calls on Christians to impose fundamentalist values on all aspects of American life. The Seven Mountains Mandate is extreme RWNJ/religious bigot type theory that is scary. This idiot judge is a true RWNJ/QANON supporter.





https://www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspiracy-theory/alabama-supreme-court-chief-justice-spreads-christian-nationalist-rhetoric

During a recent interview on the program of self-proclaimed “prophet” and QAnon conspiracy theorist Johnny Enlow, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker indicated that he is a proponent of the “Seven Mountain Mandate,” a theological approach that calls on Christians to impose fundamentalist values on all aspects of American life.

Enlow is a pro-Trump “prophet” and leading proponent of the “Seven Mountain Mandate,” a “quasi-biblical blueprint for theocracy” that asserts that Christians must impose fundamentalist values on American society by conquering the “seven mountains” of cultural influence in U.S. life: government, education, media, religion, family, business, and entertainment.

Enlow has also repeatedly pushed the QAnon conspiracy theory, sometimes even connecting it to the Seven Mountain Mandate. Per Right Wing Watch, Enlow has claimed that world leaders are “satanic” pedophiles who “steal blood” and “do sacrifices” and that “there is presently no real democracy on the planet” because over 90 percent of world leaders are involved in pedophilia and are being blackmailed.

On February 16, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are people, with the same rights as living children, and that a person can be held liable for destroying them, imperiling in vitro fertilization treatment in the state. In a concurring opinion, Parker quoted the Bible, suggested that Alabama had adopted a “theologically based view of the sanctity of life,” and said that “human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God.”.....

Parker’s ties to extreme right-wing Christian and “prophetic” media figures extends beyond the interview with Enlow.

Last year, Christian nationalist media figure Sean Feucht said Parker had invited him into the court’s chambers for a worship session. Parker also joined a prayer call in March 2023 with supposed prophets and apostles, and he prayed that “there will be a growing hunger in the judges of Alabama, and around the nation for more of God. And that they will be receptive to his moves toward restoration of the judges, so that they can play their forecast role in revival in this nation.”

12. Days of the Theocracy

First they fight abortion, birth control is next,
Then comes sex if you’re not married, finally, out goes sex!
Put the prayers back in the schools, install "parochiaid,"
Allow for corporal punishment, and then you got it made!

Chorus: We’re going back, back to the good ole days
When men were really men and women knew their place
Back, back a couple of centuries
And welcome back the days of the theocracy!

2. The family is so holy, there must be no divorce
And if a wife is not content, she must adjust, of course
And if he’s forced to beat her, it’s all for her own good
She must know what her limits are, as any woman should.,
(chorus)

3. The next to go is daycare,
it’s all a commie plot!
What could be more fulfilling than a child, wanted or not?
A woman’s world is housework, God wanted it that way
A salaried job degrades her since she never works for pay
(chorus)

4. They teach us women’s lot is "love honor and obey"
And while their crusty notions seem like jokes to us today,
They’re sitting in the Capitol, they’re voting on our lives
If we don’t stop them soon, our freedom will not long survive!

Alt chorus:
No going back, back to the bad ole days...
When men were really masters and women were their slaves
let's go ahead, ahead for future centuries,
And build a world that’s based on true democracy
And build a world that’s based on true equality!
Ah – person!

Why would you wish this? There are current electeds who are advocating for murder charges for people who get abortions and anyone who helps them. They're on that path.

"Sexually Active" or not. Especially married women.
"Pro Life" states will get rid of funding for rape kits and fund ways to test menstrual fluid for embryo or sperm.
Period trackers will become cheap and mandatory.
Miscarriages will require autopsies and criminal investigation.
Women will become sentient property again. The potential for bearing children will be their primary value to society.
Think any one of the above won't happen? Forced births in Romania under Cescecu, anyone?
