Couple, women, families that have had appointments to have IVF have found their appointments cancelled and their plans for having a child cancelled by the Alabama Supreme Courts decision. Notoriously absent from the ruling was any legal basis. Instead the court quotes scripture, the Bible, religious scholars, religious figures, even the Ten Commandments citing "Thou shall not murder." (irony is obvious given AL death penalty), etc., over and over to emotionally rationalize mandating their twisted belief on everyone else.

"In summary, the theologically based view of the sanctity of life adopted by the People of Alabama encompasses the following : (1) God made every person in His image; (2) each person therefore has a value that far exceeds the ability of human beings to calculate; and (3) human life can not be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself. Section 36.06 recognizes that this is true of unborn human life no less than it is of all other human life that even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, and their lives can not be destroyed without effacing (H)is glory."

That's in the Court's ruling as the justification for their decision. Oh, and if you missed it, the messed up on capitalizing "His" at the end, so I corrected it for them

#3 - That's' a perfect post putting this all in context, Gal. Scary.
Thanks!
