 With the Alabama Supreme Court, Alabama Supreme Court, what is it? Three days ago, two days ago, three days ago, ruled that MBOs, MBOs, that were kept basically with the equivalent of children, MBOs were equivalent of children. And therefore, if you destroyed MBOs, you could be or a zygote, a zygote, right, zygote, you could be accused of murder, killing of children, frozen embryos of children. According to the Alabama Supreme Court, where God is cited and where the Chief Justice of the court, yeah, is a real religious conservative, all the way, 100 percent, no compromise. And indeed, so this happened. And all across kind of the Republican world, right, there were big cheers. People were celebrating this. This is great. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, life is, human life is, it comes into being a conception. And of course, MBOs are children. That's why you can't have abortion. Well, if the MBO happens to be outside the womb, it's still a child. And therefore, you can't, you can't destroy it. And Republicans, for a while there, were celebrating this. The senator, for example, from Alabama was like, yeah, this is good. This is a recognition of all we've been talking about all along, you know, MBOs are children. And finally, a court has recognized that. And Alabama, of course, is a state that has some of the most or the most stringent abortion laws in the country. This is, Alabama has a law that basically says abortions are illegal at any stage of pregnancy. Abortions are illegal even in cases of rape, even in case of incest, even in cases where the woman's life is imperiled. So basically, zero, zero tolerance for abortion in Alabama. And now, zero tolerance for, you know, destruction of MBOs in Alabama. But this creates a problem. Many clinics typically fertilize a number of embryos in order for, you know, to implant those embryos as part of, when couples cannot conceive by themselves naturally. And as a consequence, whoa, somebody's calling me a liar. Why are they calling me a liar? What did I say? What did I say? And as a consequence, fertility treatments are really, really problematic because they don't use all the embryos. Fertility clinics usually use some embryos and destroy the rest. Some women, or some embryos actually are frozen and used later. You know, with an IVF, a doctor extracts eggs from ovaries, fertilize them with sperm outside the body, test you babies, and then there's an embryo. And then it can be moved into the universe. But now fertility clinics are going to shut down IVFs. Shutdown IVF in Alabama, the number of clinics have already said they're not going to do these procedures anymore. And suddenly Republicans are like, wait a minute, no, we didn't mean it to have a detrimental effect on actual childbirths. We want children, like, we're big on family. We want children. We want couples. More importantly, we don't want to lose the vote of couples who can't have babies In a amicus brief to the court, the Medical Association of the State of Alabama warned that the ruling would make pursuing IVF more expensive or result in fertility clinics shutting down or moving out of state because of the increased risk of lawsuits. Justice shrugged this off, right in there was up to the legislature to address that policy-focused argument, and it had a duty to provide legal protection to unborn life without exception. The Chief Justice, Tom Parker, quoted the Bible as he examined the sanctity of unborn life. Quote, human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God who views the destruction of his image as an affront to himself. Even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory. I'm not even going to mention the issues of separation of church and state that this brings up, right? I mean, God, God, yeah, God. So IVF is in trouble now. The senator from Alabama, when he heard that IVF was in trouble, was like, all right, we didn't mean it, that's not what we want. It's not clear how the legislature can solve this problem. The court is pretty clear. You cannot destroy unborn life. Now this, of course, raises questions, not just IVF, but it also raises big questions for the abortion pill. The abortion pill, of course, only affects you, causes the woman to abort after conception. In other words, after the image of God has already been created. And then you are taking a pill to cause an abortion and that's killing the image of God. And therefore, you can see how that argument can be used to make the abortion pill illegal in Alabama, which is, it is not yet, but we know that that's with the Supreme Court right now. The Supreme Court right now is going to be ruling about the abortion pill soon. I mean, when World Versus Wade was struck down, a lot of people were saying, oh, well, no big deal. At the end of the day, the states will decide and look, you know, there'll be some rational conclusion to all of this, it'll be decided by voters at a local level, the way it should be, don't worry, everything's fine. Everything's not fine. Everything's a disaster for many, many women, minorities, smallest minority in the world. Smallest minority is the individual. So individual women, their rights are stripped, being stripped from them. They're stripped from them in the inaccessibility to abortion. They're now stripped from them in ability to use IVF, stripped from them in the inability to use certain forms of what is still called contraception, post fertilization, if you will, contraception, everything, everything, in a sense, the worst case scenario coming out of World Versus Wade, the Dobs ruling is playing out. This is truly horrific. And next, we know what's going to be next. Next, once they get rid of abortion completely, including the morning after pill, including all the kinds of morning after pills, all the kind of abortion pills, the next obvious step is to get rid of contraception. And that seems bizarre and far-fetched. That seems right out of the Iranian theocratic regime. But for many Americans today, that is the next required step. It's not legal up to 20 weeks in Alabama. It's not legal at all in Alabama. It's not even legal with medical exceptions. It's not legal in the cases of rape and in Alabama. It has a basically zero-tolerance law in Alabama against abortion. And you can see why. If I'm born children of children, then yeah, yeah, it's easier to call me a liar. I get it. That's fine. All right, let's check this. You know, I could be wrong. I don't know all the abortion laws by heart. Let's check this out. An abortion should be permitted if an attending physician's life in the state of Alabama determines that an abortion is necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk to the unborn child's mother, except in the case of a medical emergency defined herein, the physician's determination should be confirmed in writing by a second physician licensed in Alabama, the confirmation shall occur within 180 days after the abortion is completed and shall be primary fascia evidence of a permitted abortion. All right, so my mistake. In the case, this is the only exception, right? It shall be unlawful for any person to intentionally perform or attempt to perform an abortion except as provided for by subsection B, which I just read to you. In other words, the only exception for abortion is if a woman's life is serious health risk. Now did you see the issue of health risk? First of all, don't call me a liar, Rochelle, whoever you are, you bastard, right? You don't call people liars. I made a mistake. I didn't lie. I corrected the mistake. I expect an apology. Now just to thank you, but an apology would be the appropriate thing when you call somebody a liar. A liar is not somebody who, oh yeah, I was lying. So somebody who says something wrong is always lying. God, the people, no, and I'm not happy that you, as to speak up for a person that you are, are not apologizing, all right? Notice that in the state of Texas, you remember the state of Texas? We talked about this a little while ago, a few months ago. The woman who said that if she did not have an abortion, the child would die and she would never be able to have kids again. That seems like serious health risk. And yet the Supreme Court of Texas denied her an abortion. So what is serious health risk is a very, very narrow, very, very narrow. All right, anyway, Donald Trump was silent about this for days. And then finally, today responded by wanting to have his cake and eat it too, basically urging the Alabama legislature to pass a law that makes it possible for couples to get IVF in Alabama without overturning what the Supreme Court of Alabama had ruled in terms of, in other words, Republicans now want to have it both ways because they realize the electoral damage that this is going to have. Now what motivates this? Now you could say what motivates this is a commitment to this idea that human life begins a conception and therefore, you know, the embryo has embedded in an individual right, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as an embryo and therefore cannot be destroyed even. But that's ridiculous. That is completely wrong. It's a complete fabrication. It's not what motivates this at all and it's what motivates this is exactly what Ein Rand claimed motivated the opposition to abortion. What motivates this is opposition or rejection of sex and pleasure. It is the idea that if you have sex, then, you know, you should live with the consequences. If you have sex, it should be scary. If you have sex, we shouldn't use human ingenuity, the human mind, human ability to just have sex without negative repercussions, negative if you don't have a child, then pregnancy is negative. What really motivates this hatred of women, this hatred of abortion, this hatred of, you know, this veneration of embryos, this veneration of zygots, this veneration of cells is ultimately a real hatred of sex and pleasure.
