Overheard (Alabama Edition) #6, 7, and 8 (Freethought Today)

"The idea is absurd and unscientific. It is instead tied to a religious crusade to downgrade the personhood of women by conferring personhood on frozen embryos."  

— New York Times columnist Charles Blow 

"Alabama is a dangerous theocracy. He [Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker] is self-anointed as the divine guide to interpret your laws through ancient religious texts and his own 17th-century filter. You are subject to his delusions, his interpretation of God, his inner mandate, despite your pesky First Amendment right to believe your own religious truth, or to believe nothing at all."  

— AL.com columnist John Archibald 

"You may think life is a matter of consciousness. Or you may think it is connected to the first stirrings of an embryo in the womb. Or you may simply think it is all pretty complicated. But it will not matter what you or I or anyone thinks or believes if the theocrats gain power. As in Alabama, they will use the law to impose their dogma on us all."

 — Seattle Times cartoonist David Horsey
