When Alabama’s Supreme Court defined frozen embryos as children, the shock and confusion was immediate. Major hospitals pulled fertility services and would-be parents scrambled for clarity on what would happen next.
The debate over reproductive rights in America has long been driven, in part, by opposition to abortion from Christian groups - but this ruling has divided that movement and ignited debate about the role of theology in US lawmaking.
Can I just ask why more babies being born is seen as a moral good? I’m dumbfounded because I’ve honestly never in fifty years heard this talking point before.
A bunch of white people in the united states are worried about birth rates because immigrant birth rates are high whereas white birth rates are on the decline. They’re worried about white people becoming a minority because even though if you asked them they would say no, they know that minorities are treated poorly here.
