I would still encourage the people of Alabama to be highly skeptical of any assurances made by these Republicans in the state. Their word is worthless.
At a minimum, it's dependent on who's in office: if they have the info, someone else can come into office and charge you until the statute of limitations expire. And if they decide it's murder, the statute never expires.
Bold of you to think they can read.
Selectively enforcing laws is unjust and discriminatory. It's why it took so long to get gay marriage on the books. Pigs and prosecutors would only target poorer people and those who couldn't defend themselves and cherry pick cases unlikely to win on appeal.
This is being used so Alabama shitheels like Steve Marshall can persecute through prosecution all the people he doesn't like while letting his buddies off. All laws should apply to all people equally.
I wish I could buy Fediverse Plutonium for this comment.
Thanks :)
I liked the old reddit silver where it was that simply drawn medal.
Also, if he doesn't prosecute anyone for it, then it nobody has standing to challenge it.
given the number and breath of laws, only selective enforcement is possible.
we should instead abolish all laws.
Wait, so fertilized eggs in a uterus are living beings with souls and should be protected all costs (up to executing women who seek abortions) yet eggs fertilized in a petri dish are just discardable medical waste? We're up to "God has to blow the breath of life right up a woman's vagina or else it doesn't count"?
As the saying goes, if it weren't for double standards Republicans wouldn't have any standards at all.
God has to blow the breath of life right up a woman’s vagina ...
Good work if you can get it.
Safety tip, do not let anyone blow air up your vagina, even if they say they are God!! That's how you get a pulmonary embolism. Or immaculate conception.
Dang. God got it easy. I usually gotta be down there doing a whole lot more for a lot longer
[x] Doubt
😉 (probably)
For now...
Even if he follows through on not prosecuting, there is always going to be a new Attorney General at some point who decides to prosecute.
He will totally prosecute though.
Depends on skin color.
Your Supreme Court says they're children, and you're pre-emptively saying you're not going to prosecute crimes against children? For shame.

If yer Attorney General is saying “I swear I won’t enforce the law - it’s just too crazy!” . . . Yuh just might be a redneck
It doesn't matter what he says now. He lacks the legal authority to grant pardons or indemnity or whatever. And prosecotors lie, especially for political gain.
Florida and Georgia and I'm sure other states have already put forward legislation that can punish prosecutors for not prosecuting crimes. Really these are thin veils to give legal justification to remove prosecutors who are viewed as liberal. As I see it, removal of elected officials unilaterally is voter suppression and should not be allowed.
he's lying, we all know what. don't give the benefit of the doubt
Yea, but his fingers are crossed, so......
Oh heck. I knew we should’ve made him pinky promise.
The US constantly makes everything illegal, then picks and chooses what it wants to prosecute for whom and when. It means you're never safe. You can always be arrested or have your life ruined depending on the mood of the police, agents, and DA at various moments in time.
And these moods and choices vary greatly depending on your socioeconomic status and skin colour to name a couple things.
It's a disgusting practice. Write better laws if you don't mean it.
What a kind and benevolent overlord who won't punish his subjects this time.
He's saving it for a rainy day when he needs leverage over someone dealing with infertility.
Pretty sure the ruling outlasts his tenure, next guy won't give the same slack.
When the laws have gotten so bad, the only sane option is to just not enforce them.
when the laws have gotten so bad, that the a nutjob AG who's totally down for enforcing other forms of abortion bullshit; is saying it's too crazy to enforce.
....yet
"unless they vote Democrat"
Ahhh, so it's not actually about protecting the lives of the unborn then? These embryos are not biologically different than the natural ones from a pregnancy, yet they get different treatment.
Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of my actions...
