A friendly reminder that God kills fertilized embryos at an astounding rate. If abortion is run of the mill murder, let me tell you, friends, God's doing it on a Pol Pot scale.
60 to 70 percent of fertilized eggs do not make it to birth, and thankfully most women don't know they miscarry.
The cosmic joke is that if you wanted to stop the death of babies, #Alabama style, the only ethical way to do so would be to stop all sex, especially the kind that aims for reproduction.

A third #Alabama #IVF clinic has halted treatment as the fallout from last week’s state Supreme Court ruling that frozen #embryos are legally #children continues to disrupt IVF access across the state.
The Center for Reproductive Medicine in Mobile, 1 of just 7 IVF clinics statewide, announced Thurs that it had paused IVF procedures in light of the court ruling.

Heather Cox Richardson on the Republican rebuttal to Biden last night, delivered by Alabama’s Katie Britt:
“The fact that the Republicans had a female senator give what could be the most important speech of her life in a kitchen seemed to tell its own, more powerful, story.”

“Because here is real danger in what Katie Britt did. And I want to take a moment and sit in the danger and talk about the fact that she weaponized someone's story, not to actually get something done, not to make someone's life better, but to score political points. It's just about the ugliest thing you can do in American politics.” — Alicia Menendez, on MSNBC’s The Weekend.
Katie Britt is now a joke to an additional 20M people.

A court ruling that deemed #FrozenEmbryos “children” has motivated some patients & clinics to move embryos out of #RedStates.
The embryo migration is most striking in #Alabama, where the State Supreme Court ruled in Feb that #embryos were “unborn children.”
