Trump’s Total Abortion Ban Explained
“Trump Wants to Ban Abortion Nationwide: Report”
“This is a man who is so proud of his role in overturning Roe v. Wade that he’s incessantly bragged about it on the campaign trail. Trump is a man who has called for punishment for women who get an abortion. He’s claimed credit for the chaos and cruelty happening across this country, even going as far as to say he is proud of it.” Joe Biden and Kamala Harris “are the only candidates in this race who will defend a woman’s right to choose.” – Rolling Stone

What does a TOTAL ABORTION BAN involve? How will it hurt you? Follow along with this interactive infographic.
MAGA Christian extremism
“Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker makes this explicit in a concurring opinion. Parker writes that the decision is grounded “theologically based view of the sanctity of life.” Frozen embryos must be considered children, according to Parker, because “human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself.”
Of course, many Christians in Alabama and elsewhere disagree that standard IVF treatment — which often involves the loss of some embryos — is an affront to God. But now Parker and the other members of the court majority are imposing their specific religious beliefs on millions of women in Alabama.” – Popular Info
Fetal Personhood and the ban on IVF
If you’re not already worried about fetal personhood, you should be. In Alabama last week, the state Supreme Court ruled that embryos are “children,” and that families whose embryos were destroyed in an accident could sue for wrongful death. The justices decided that the law “applies to all unborn children, regardless of of their location.” If “location” wasn’t enough to send you into a tailspin, consider this assertion from Justice Jay Mitchell:
“Unborn children are ‘children’…without exception based on developmental stage, physical location, or any other ancillary characteristics.”
ANCILLARY CHARACTERISTICS? Is that what they call women now? This has always been the danger of fetal personhood—it deprives pregnant people of their humanity. Now, clearly this will have a huge impact on IVF. For example, discarding unused embryos is common during fertility treatments; Alabama doctors won’t be able to do this if embryos are characterized as “extrauterine children.” (Yes, that’s really what the justices called them.) – Jessica Valenti
