It's not as simple as IVF treatment shutting down, but now every single embryo they have is a future murder or manslaughter charge I have a simpler question that I have yet to see posed to any Alabama SC members or Republicans: why are you allowing thousands of children to remain frozen solid? I am certain that in Alabama it was already illegal to take children and freeze them solid.

I am certain that in Alabama it was already illegal to take children and freeze them solid. It's part of a valid medical procedure. Same reason why jabbing your child with needles will get CPS called, but you are totally fine to jab them as many times as you want if you're a doctor trying to treat them. There is also a difference between "unborn children" and "children" in Alabama law, but that part isn't really fleshed out right now and they are going to have to figure out all the ramifications of that.

The CRA document isn't officially a part of Project 2025, which is a similar thing (list of major actions they need to get started on right away), but Project 2025 is made up of a bunch of different groups instead of just one.

I do have some feelings about the ethics of IVF when there are so many children without homes stuck in the foster system or on the streets. But I know what an expensive nightmare adoption can be, so I am not sure I can really blame anyone for taking the alternative expensive nightmare of IVF.

But I know what an expensive nightmare adoption can be, so I am not sure I can really blame anyone for taking the alternative expensive nightmare of IVF. I do agree. Although adopting isn’t actually expensive if you’re willing to go the foster/adoption route (they pay you!) but you get a lot less control over who you get in terms of age, plus you have to go through the trauma that can come from the foster system which, having been indirectly involved in it for a while, isn’t nothing.

Is it a given that Lara Trump will be installed at the RNC? I mean, the GOP has basically caved to Trump in every way at this point, starting with having no party platform except “TRUMP”, followed by the failures to impeach and then becoming a more complete capitulation with McCarthy going down to Mar a Lago and signing over the keys to GOP fundraising to Trump. Putting the family formally in charge of the RNC and its money is kind of the final step, along with changing the name to the Trump Party. Will there even be any resistance to this final step? I see little reason why there would be.

The few business republicans left have no one to unite behind and the authoritarian theocrats are ascendant. The only question left is if the people who don't pay attention to elections until the week before are going to put the chain around their own necks as well as everyone else's.

The big issue, such as it is, is that to voluntarily shed themselves of Trump and his brood, the GOP would have to be willing to eat a one hundred percent guaranteed big election loss, across the board. For at least one cycle, possibly more. At every turn they have shown themselves completely unwilling to do that and would much rather take their chances with what a fascist dictator takeover of their party and the country would look like. In recent cycles they have been eating the losses anyway even going with Trump but when they finally ditch him they are guaranteed at least one massive blowout loss, not the usual narrow ones.

Some of them already tried to disavow Trump in 2016. There's nothing "the party" can do because Trump has the support of ~85% of the party.
