I guess I ought to mention the recent ruling with regard to embryos in Alabama has got me severely messed up. Anger, anxiety, depression, and stress would be among the toxic mix of negatives.

I'm going to be clear on some things:

1) Telling me it's likely to be overturned is simply not helpful. As far as I can tell it ought to be overturned because, minimally, it violates the First Amendment by placing a specific religious take on life for what is a secular medical procedure. I'm not sure the current Supreme Court would see it that way, though, and there are a ton of awful things it can lead to, since once you've established religious rulings as secular law that basically starts a theocracy. There is, in fact, a very nice thread on this. And if you're going to say "that can't happen" remember Roe v. Wade was overturned and, more importantly, state laws were being passed in anticipation of it being overturned.

2) If you decide you're going to defend it, because you believe embryos are people, I'm simply going to block you. I don't care how long we've known one another. You are putting the unborn before the born. You are condemning women to infertility, suffering, and/or death because you consider the embryo not just her equal in personhood but her superior. Even more, I will consider you to be in support of every other horrible thing that the decision can lead to.

3) If you find this too offensive, think I ought to grow up, or otherwise want to say something negative to someone who has mentioned that he is suffering a great deal of stress, anxiety, depression, and anger you can just stop watching me or block me. I honestly don't care at this point.
