Alabama’s supreme court ruling that frozen embryos are ‘children’ is a chilling example of the Republican party’s extremism
In a case centering on wrongful-death claims for frozen embryos that were accidentally destroyed at a fertility clinic, the Alabama supreme court ruled last Friday that frozen embryos are “children” under state law.
As a result, several Alabama in-vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics are ceasing services, afraid to store or destroy any embryos.
The underlying issue is whether government can interfere in the most intimate aspects of people’s lives – not only barring people from obtaining IVF services but also forbidding them from entering into gay marriage, utilizing contraception, having out-of-wedlock births, ending their pregnancies, changing their genders, checking out whatever books they want from the library, and worshipping God in whatever way they wish (or not worshipping at all).
All these private freedoms are under increasing assault from Republican legislators and judges who want to impose their own morality on everyone else. Republicans are increasingly at war with America’s basic separation of church and state.
Can someone please explain how this is any different from a county imposing Sharia law‽ Pretty sure the right is vehemently against that occuring. Why are their morals different, in the end it’s trying to control through religion.
It’s exactly the same. But because it’s their god it’s somehow different, but it’s not.
Its the same God, though, isn’t it? Just their book?
From my understanding of the various religions and offshoots, yes, it is in theory the same God. They also feature the same saints and holy figures across the 3 big ones though in the Quran Jesus is a saint or similar but not our savior or the son of God and God in the same package, etc.

Any of these Christians at any rate.
Have you seen the south Park multiparter about the atheist otters?
Abrahamic religions 101:
Judaism religion v1.0 Christianity religion v2.0 Islam religion v3.0
There is literally no way of knowing.
I don’t mean some scientific objective same God.
They are both based off Abrahamic origins. They literally believe in the same God. They just disagree in a lot of interpretations and how to respect and worship him.
There is, actually. You see, since men wrote all the books, thankfully they’ve made it clear in the Quran that it’s a sequel, same-universe cannon.
Ironically, since we know from the literature, we do literally have a way to know
Oh… yea. My bad. :D
Considering the 3 big ones feature the same cast of saints and holy figures, I’d say it’s more likely than not that it is the same God.
Some dude named Dave knew, but he died without telling anyone in 1973 🤷
Damn it Dave!
Yeah, he was a total dick. He also heated fish in the break room microwave.
We know it’s the same god the same way we know it’s the same Emperor Palpaptine in Revenge of the Sith, Return of the Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.
Well you see, Sharia Law is imposed by brown people, so God hates it. Jesus was white, American, and a registered Republican, so God loves the brand of extremist Christian theocracy the GOP will bring upon us.
