This will be the future of @GovernorKayIvey’s $100 million #ESA bill (AKA as giveaway of public school funds) that contains no language on accountability or oversight.

“Last time I checked, you’re not allowed to store kids in the freezer."
"The Daily Show" tackled a recent Alabama Supreme Court decision giving fertilized eggs the same legal status as children in civil cases and found plenty of absurdity to play with.

Breaking @JK_Stephenson: The chair of the Alabama Senate's Healthcare Committee said Thursday he plans to file a bill saying embryos are not viable until uterine implantation, days after the state Supreme Court declared frozen embryos children. https://t.co/5QGGS30rps #alpolitics
Alabama's AG frees a white cop convicted of killing a Black man against the wishes of the victim's family. I wonder what the victim's advocacy lobby has to say about this?

The top ten states with the highest rates of maternal mortality have all passed abortion bans.
Extremists say they are motivated by the health and well-being of women and children—but they’re silent on maternal mortality.
The hypocrisy abounds.
Folks, @MarilynForAL can win this race but she needs everyone’s help. I know it is just a state house race in Alabama, but if you are moved by this video and her story and her courage please go to https://t.co/ifO5stkAMz and donate to her campaign.
One candidate for president has promised to restore the basic human rights being stripped away from women in our country.
The other doesn’t give a damn about your bodily autonomy and has promised even more draconian policies at the federal level.
Which said that children can come from many different backgrounds (some from LGBTQ+ families) and that teachers should be kind about that.
That was the "controversy." #alpolitics
The word "God" appears 41 times in the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that destroying embryos counts as killing a child.
We must protect our secular democracy and take a stand for the separation of church and state while we still can.
Most coverage of the Alabama embryo ruling has been framed as left vs right. But that’s not how the chief justice or his supporters see it. They speak of good vs evil, light vs darkness, the anointed vs the demonic.
Why doesn’t more coverage reflect that? https://t.co/favoZPcVAm
Why does Alabama have one of the lowest parole rates in the country, despite rampant prison overcrowding?
Take a look at Alabama's parole board and the broken parole system.

Years ago, I warned that confirming Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court would put IVF at risk.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, I warned that red states would come for IVF like Alabama just did.
Mark my word—if we don't act now, it'll only get worse.

Alabama's GOP Gov. Kay Ivey is worried about the personhood of frozen embryos, but Ivey cancelled the summer food program for children not in a petri dish or nitrogen tube. Make it make sense.
