The Alabama ruling was specifically for one case. However, they made a very general ruling which could be used to argue all kinds of things that make no sense. The court even acknowledged this but said something along the lines of "it is not this courts duty to determine other cases". Essentially "The clinic is being sued for wrongful death of a child and they argued this law doesnt apply to frozen embryos. We have decided it does and the case can move forward. We acknowledge this sets a terrible precedent but we don't care. Also here are some Bible quotes because the Supreme Court of Alabama uses the Bible for legal arguments and somehow this isn't religious law"
I'm still trying to process your words.
Don't get me wrong, all your words make sense grammaticaly, but the state of the world makes absolutely no sense.
If it's any slight consolation whatsoever, the Bible quotes being used as evidence was just from the concurring opinion (that came to the same conclusions for other reasons from the majority), written by the chief justice of that court.
Alright, gotcha. They also didn't have freezers when the Bible was written. So, care to re-evaluate your comment?
I mean, I don't begin to understand it, and it terrifies me. But at least it's far away from me for now.
I still gave you my upvote anyways. Even if our opinions differ, or maybe it's just that confusing or controversial subject, I thank you for taking time to read my post and comment. 👍
Unless you think the recent decision was very based, I don't think our opinions are all that different.
Nah we cool yo, more or less same page I think.
That poster is agreeing with you that the court's decision was bad and dumb.
