If “life begins at conception,” then of course *your* IVF kills *your* babies, fake pro-lifers. Your embryos aren’t magic. What did you think you were saying? And what do you want for Canady day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Billy Townsend<\/p>\n\n\n

The night in 2022 that candidate Jennifer Canady, R-Nepotism, lied to my face \u2014 and the faces of her other constituents-to-be \u2014 about her pending sponsorship of 6-week forced birth in Florida, she (and her opponent Phillip Walker) kept droning on about how they believe \u201clife begins at conception.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo and behold, the Alabama Supreme Court took Jennifer Canady and all the others seriously. So did her husband Charles Canady\u2019s Florida Supreme Court dictatorship. Led by Justice Carlos Muniz, the \u201ccourt\u201d seemed likely to decree Florida voters have no right to free themselves from forced birth because a test tube is a person \u2014 or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 entirely predictably, the rich GOPers at Jennifer Canady\u2019s Lakeland Christian School (and everywhere else) went through this mental process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, I used IVF fertilization. You mean I believe that my discarded embryos are life that began at conception? You mean I\u2019m a babykiller? It\u2019s not just the gay people with their IVF that are babykillers? You mean it\u2019s not just the rape victim and her embryo who is a babykiller? It\u2019s me? And I can\u2019t do fertility treatment anymore and my kids won\u2019t be able to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, that\u2019s correct. I am the Alabama\/Canady Supreme Court; and I say so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSign me up for up Team Babykiller!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus ended the last fake vestige of the fake \u201cpro-life\u201d movement. Forced birthers themselves have killed \u201clife begins at conception\u201d as a fiction as surely as they kill their own embryos to get pregnant. The end of \u201clife begins at conception\u201d means the total, final collapse of the fake \u201cpro-life\u201d movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are today in the middle of most hideously funny \u2014 and yet bloody and vicious \u2014 collapse of a national con in the history of America. I mean here\u2019s a real statement from radical forced birther and Florida congressman Byron Donalds, who may end up the J6 rapist wanna-be dictator\u2019s choice for VP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIVF is something that is so critical to a lot of couples. It helps them breed great families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It psychotically brutal to consider a petri dish a person \u2014 and to act on it with the full power of the government\u2019s guns. But I have to tell you, I respect the psychotically brutal Alabama Supreme Court more any of the craven fake \u201cpro-lifers\u201d humiliating themselves yet again like a bunch of vicious Benny Hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Trump, the J6 rapist dictator wannbe, who brought you forced birth and empowered the Alabama psychos to attack IVF, is panicking and denying that \u201clife begins at conception\u201d now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the right-wing GOP Alabama Attorney General is defying the GOP Alabama Supreme Court psychos. That creates a clear moral precedent for the federal government to defy the psychos on the U.S. Supreme Court when they outlaw pregnancy termination pills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will Canady Day bring?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, amid all the humiliating backtrack, Canady Day still looms here in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charles Canady Supreme Court is to supposed rule soon on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether Florida\u2019s the anti-forced birth referendum can move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Jennifer Canady 6-week forced birth by ruling on Kelli Stargel 15-week forced birth in relation to Florida\u2019s constitutional right to privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will we find under the Canady tree when it it finally arrives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the IVF meltdown and the panicky direction of the rapist J6 dictator who commands the GOP, I would have predicted the Canady Supreme Court will throw out the referendum because \u201ca test tube is a baby\u201d and bring 6-week forced birth with no workable exceptions into law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I have no idea what combination of mayhem and craven cowardice we\u2019ll find under the Canady tree. I have no idea what the forced birther\/fake pro-lifer clown show even wants from Santa Clauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever happens, it is my goal to make sure Jennifer and Charles Canady are associated, by name, forever with this gross period of time and the stupid, bloody brutality they\u2019ve imposed or will impose on the people of their \u201chome\u201d \u2014 where I doubt we\u2019ll ever see much of them again. We never saw much of them before, to be honest. I didn\u2019t even know Jennifer Canady existed until two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even while they laugh at Lakeland from Tallahassee and whatever catered donor lunch they\u2019re being fed that day, I want their gross nepotism to come with a searchable price, forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding a couple questions to the list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, I\u2019m adding two questions to my forced birth policy questions lost for our local elected officials (of which only Lakeland City Commissioner Stephanie Madden has answered so far).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you believe life begins at conception?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are discarded IVF embryos murder victims?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s a philosophical\/moral question for the rest of you fake \u201cpro-lifers,\u201d which I heard from someone else:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were faced with a tray of 1000 embryos and one 2-year-old child trapped in a burning house \u2014 and you could only save one \u2014 which would you save?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this, fake pro-lifers \u2014 all of this bloody absurdity you\u2019ve trapped us in and won\u2019t do anything to fix, this entire 50-year endless billion dollar fake Roe hatred industry has been for nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all for nothing. You won\u2019t even follow through on core talking point.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the hatred and divisiveness you created because somehow your embryos are magically not babies, but a poor rape victim\u2019s embryos are; all the misery you fake pro-lifers so smugly inflicted on other people just because you wanted to feel like you were better than those of us who actually take life seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s for nothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You never believed your own bullshit. You never bothered to take even a moment of time or effort to wrestle with how an after-Roe world would work. And you can\u2019t be bothered to take any responsibility now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re just pathetic or silent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even I am shocked by how completely and totally unprepared you were to \u201cwin.\u201d And I am hard to shock. The depth of my moral contempt for your paralysis has not yet found a bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let me just wish you a Happy Canady Day in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
