    Huh? Alabama is so fucking screwed up they refuse to “kill” a frozen embryo because it’s made in god’s image. Still, they will not hesitate to execute a felon with the death penalty even though he is living and breathing already in god’s image. Can someone explain this to me slowly? I’m old.

      I can only explain it quickly: there is no logic or critical thinking behind choices like these.

        It’s worse than that. The conservative mind abhors logic. It requires a level of narcissistic flexibility that permits any political opinion that benefits the conservative.

        Angry people vote. If you can make people angry by convincing them that your opponent wants to murder babies, that’s good for you because it makes stupid people angry. If you can also convince voters that your opoonents are friendly to murderers who should die, then that’s good for you because it makes stupid people angry.

        It’s always easier to convince stupid people that someone else is wrong than it is to convince anyone that you are right.

      It’s about control and punishment of women. Plus, churches are often as uncompromising *as the NRA: rape, vulnerable people, incest, etc; abortion is always bad and can’t be tolerated.

      How they’re able to justify killing criminals, I don’t know…

      Gotta wait until they’re too old to be cold on the battlefield before you execute them.

          Looks like I was wrong, Alabama did away with the Judeg override in 2017, however anyone who’s life sentence was overridden before 2017 Alabama still wants to execute those people
