Alabama lawmakers have passed a bill to protect in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) clinics and doctors from lawsuits and criminal prosecution. Last month, the state’s supreme court ruled that frozen embryos had the same rights as children, and people could be held liable for destroying them. At least three IVF clinics paused treatments in the wake of the ruling, which divided Alabama’s conservatives. The new law will allow the clinics to resume services.

    Our religious zealotry caused us to come to a really stupid conclusion. Rather than reconsider our zealotry, we’re just going to pretend that that’s ok, and just kinda brush that cognitive dissonance under the rug.
