The #Brevard#schoolBoard is choosing to follow badly worded laws, written vaguely on purpose, massive in scope, to follow a #ChristianNationalist agenda to #indoctrinate#students, while ignoring that these same laws would ban virtually every book from our classrooms and libraries.
Why is reported illicit drug user, unmarried father of 11 children by 3 women, a man whose social media site is overrun w. hatred & pornography, celebrated across length/breadth of the New Right incl. Christian right?
#Alabama Lawmakers Move to Protect #IVF Treatments
A court ruling declaring frozen #embryos to be legally considered children has set off a scramble among leaders in both parties to preserve access to a crucial reproductive treatment.
#Alabama lawmakers are considering #legislation that would protect #IVF, after a…ruling last wk led some clinics to halt treatments & left many #women in limbo.
The ruling, which declared frozen #embryos should be legally considered children, set off a scramble among ldrs in both parties to preserve access to a crucial reproductive treatment for #families who struggle w/ #infertility & for #LGBTQ+ couples seeking to have children.
The court’s ruling, handed down by an 8-to-1 majority, applies only to 3 couples who were suing a #fertility clinic over the accidental destruction of their #embryos. But its wording — paired w/a fiery blatantly [#religious] opinion from the chief justice encouraging lawmakers to push its scope further — has left many wondering about the possible wider implications for people seeking #IVF treatment.
#Trump has reprised lies aimed at inciting his #ChristianRight base against #JoeBiden. These tirades, centered on the false charge that the Biden Administration is persecuting Christians, aren't just Trump's typically dubious claims. Much like Trump's lies about a stolen election, they are designed to immerse his loyalists in a grievance-laden alternative reality in which Trump alone can rescue them from an evil government threatening their freedom.
Wake up #NewBrunswick! The real honest-to-goodness US-style #christianRight is back, and they're coming for all of us.
Keeping this horror out of our #government is up to the people of #Hampton, #NB - a beautiful river community, generally thought to be quite granola. They're about to get a taste of heavy racism, misogyny, bigotry, hatred & intolerance.
It is so, incredibly vital to keep this destructive force away from our laws, our reproductive organs, and our #lgbtq selves, family & friends.
Please share on other social media where folks from NB are likely to be.
Pauline Jones and Andrew Murphy report on how the determination of right-wing Christians, largely white and almost exclusively Republican, to chip away at rights of targeted minority communities like the LGBTQ community erodes American democracy. This should concern all of us since the bloc controlling the current Supreme Court is determined to further the goals of this right-wing Christian minority.
Super secretive, ultra wealthy/conservative, anti-union, climate change denial, subversive funder of neoliberal think tanks, agendae. As dangerous as Leonard Leo; good to see more coverage, unveiling of Koch's influence.
