Judd Legum notes that as Trump has chosen North Carolina Republican Party chair Don Whatley as RNC chair, we need to look at the official policy statements of the NC Republicans:
"The position of the North Carolina GOP under Whatley on embryos mirrors a recent decision by the Alabama Supreme Court."
"On February 16, Alabama's highest court ruled that frozen embryos are 'children' — entitled to the same legal protections as an infant or a third grader. This was based on a religious conviction of when life begins. In a concurring option, Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker stated that the decision is grounded 'theologically based view of the sanctity of life.'"
"According to Parker, because '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.' …
Whatley has been outspoken about using politics to translate his religious beliefs into public policy."
Anyway, you can see why the #theocrats are so excited. They got one of their own in power with #Johnson and they are expecting to have results and quickly.
Give a theocrat an inch and they will take a cubit.
If anyone was curious about what Y’all Qaeda would do if they got power, watch this Speaker closely. He’s all for taking away rights from anyone who is not like him: straight white cis male xristian.
I’m waiting for the #theocrats to say that going to war for #Israel is great because #Armageddon, but you know, while sending money to #Ukraine is bad because they are all for #Putin.
