Democrats are in another panic mode. Some criminal killed a bunch of frozen embryos and was charged under a statute that provides stiffer penalties when children are murdered. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are children and need to be protected. Democrats are appalled. They don't think babies should be protected on the day they are born, how can we expect them to be anything but disgusted by anyone who would suggest that an embryo should be protected? The only thing democrats care about anymore, at least for now, is abortion. They put abortion in the context of 'women's rights', that a woman has no rights if she can't have an abortion during the third trimester of a pregnancy. No one has a right to force a woman to have a baby they say.
No one has a right to force a woman to get pregnant either, but women are far more worried about their right to kill a baby than they are about their responsibility to avoid an unwanted pregnancy if possible. For most of us I believe there is a strong moral component. Whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, there is a God and He has rules. People who wish He didn't try to find loopholes in His laws. When we tell people that God expects obedience to His laws say, "Wait a minute! God is love!"
Lots of Christians fall into this trap. It is true that God loves us all and wants us to find our way back to him, but God is not love. He is our creator and He loves us. He has given us instructions on how to live a happy life here in mortality and in our post mortal afterlife. There are two forces operating on us; the forces of evil led by Satan, and the force of good, led by Jesus Christ. Following the teachings of our Savior will bring us happiness and help us avoid the sadness of aborting a child. Killing an unborn child is a serious consequence of sin. There are times when a woman is raped and a pregnancy occurs or incest where the pregnancy was not sought by the young woman. Many rape victims still choose to give birth rather than kill the unborn baby they are carrying. The evil of rape is a serious crime perpetrated by evil people. The act of giving birth even in that difficult situation is an act of Christlike love.
In Alabama the state supreme court justices sought to allow for the maximum penalty for killing frozen embryos. I guess democrats think vandalism would be more appropriate since there was no injury, property damage only in their view. It isn't that they care about the humanity of the embryos, or that they even want to preserve the practice of IVF. Their ultimate goal is to protect the evil practice of abortion even on the birth date of the baby. If they can turn this into an emotional issue by claiming that somehow if some of the embryos die during the IVF process then a crime has been committed they can attach the same logic that they've used to legalize abortion. No one in Alabama want to stop the practice of IVF they just want to make sure the facilities are secure and properly run.
Unlike democrats Republicans support the practice of IVF. The fact is that even in a natural childbirth sometimes a baby dies, or is stillborn. No one wants to charge a medical professional or the baby's mother with a crime when that happens anymore than they do if a frozen embryo dies during the process. politicians need to beware of this potential trap before running to play in Bloody Hilary's bounce house. She will lead them astray every time. We can protect IVF in Alabama and every other state in the union without forcing all states to accept the abomination of abortion by federal law.
