Today, we discuss Alabama's new bill designed to protect IVF providers from facing legal consequences over the destruction of human embryos. How does this square with a pro-life Republican stance? Plus, we briefly dive back into the "trad wife" debate and highlight the pros of the trad life aesthetic, as well as the dangers of taking it too far. We explain why biblical womanhood does not require being a part of the "trad" aesthetic and why portraying biblical womanhood as an aesthetic is so twisted. We also cover a crazy story arguing that cannibalism should be ... destigmatized? We explain why this is so backward and why Christianity has the answers to barbaric practices like this.
