They never do. "Yeah! We owned the libs! Oh wait, it affects our side too and they're angry? Go back!"
Again, though, he doesn’t “call on” anyone - some flunkie who’s greatest goal in life is to be the next stephen miller told him to say something and he did.
Corporate news: we know he’s a fucking demented idiot, we had to watch it every fucking day for four excruciating years the last time you normalized this rapist. STOP IT.
They can't/won't. Their billionaire owners are pushing hard for another Trump presidency, and you can see it in the overall tone from CNN to Newsweek this year. It's especially egregious how much they're salivating this time around.
Both Newsweek and CNN are now owned by right-wing sociopath ideologues, instead of the usual amoral greedy sociopaths.
The latter are so much better than the former, because they would at least stop showing Trump if it were unprofitable to do so. The former want to push that agenda.
Protect it from… itself?
Simple solution: Let it be up to each person’s church whether or not it’s illegal for that person to have an abortion. That way each church can decide when life begins for its members and no one else. Don’t agree with your church? Change to a different church.
“Not like that…”
Tromp calls on kompromat partner to “do the right thing”…
This one is tricky. In this specific case, through mismanagement at an IVF clinic, frozen embryos were destroyed. I think the (prospective) parents in this situation have every right to sue the clinic. However, the way this law was written, and the way the court ruled, was way too broad and set a lot of potential harmful precedent. The law should absolutely be fixed, but I also think that parents in this situation need to be able to hold the clinic accountable. It gets really nuanced when you consider that IVF is still a developing science, life is very fragile at that scale, and not all embryos make it through the process just due to a myriad of reasons that the clinic can’t control. I don’t know the best way to write the law, but a good place to start would be to talk to doctors, rather than priests or politicians.
It's not tricky, it's just a bad ruling. Off course the parents have a claim against the clinic, that doesn't mean the embryos are people.
The new law state:
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump on Friday weighed in for the first time on the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling on in vitro fertilization a week ago, signaling that he opposes the decision and urging the state legislature to pass a measure to protect those services.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he "strongly" supports the availability of IVF for couples "who are trying to have a precious baby."
"Today, I am calling on the Alabama Legislature to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama.
The Republican Party should always be on the side of the Miracle of Life — and the side of Mothers, Fathers, and their Beautiful Babies," he wrote.
