Alabama IVF ruling divides devout Christians: 'Fewer children will be born'
bbc.com

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.

You guys need to recognize sarcasm. I was speaking for the judge from the OP.

For a moment, I thought you were saying that the Bible verse about cutting off your wife's hand because she pulled your attacker off of you by his nuts was sarcasm.

Now I'm picturing God standing there after the woman's hand got cut off,

"Crap, bro, don't you recognize SARCASM?". Shit. I thought you'd know I didn't want you to cut her hand off. That's crazy! Dude, you were getting your ass kicked. I mean, it's a little suspicious that of all the ways she could grab him she went for the balls, but you can't deny it was effective."
