Reply To: Alabama’s largest hospital says it is halting IVF treatments

Avirah,

“The 1st amendment says that the government shall not establish a state religion. It doesn’t mean that religion plays no role in a broader sense of government, and it was not uncommon for the Bible to be quoted by judges in the 1800s.” Because citizens of the US are allowed to practice any religion that they want.

The First Amendment establishes a separation of church and state. Christian laws cannot be established as the law of the US.

Nor can Moslems have Sharia law as much they would love that.

The states that put into their constitutions that life begins at fertilization did not ask any of the Gedolay Hador for their opinion.

I will emphasize that the christofascist’s disagree even with your lukewarm definition. They want all of their religious dogmas and doctrines to be the law of the US. That includes that life begins at fertilization no matter if it is in the womb or in the freezer. They have already been given control of the abortion debate by POTUS and established state laws based on their religion. That IVF will become almost impossible is not a fluke . It is a feature of their beliefs.
