The article critiques Alabama's restrictive anti-abortion law, emphasizing the contradictory treatment of life, particularly in the context of the state's prison conditions. While proponents, including Governor Kay Ivey, assert that this legislation reflects a commitment to valuing all life, evidence suggests a dissonance between this claim and the treatment of incarcerated individuals facing inhumane conditions. The author argues for examining actions over words to determine true motivations and challenges the notion that some lives might be considered more valuable than others based on their societal roles or past actions.
This legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians' deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God.
It is rational to judge the function of something by what it does, rather than what people say it is intended to do.
If Alabamians believe that every life is a precious, sacred gift then they would presumably not permit the sacred lives in their prisons to endure such unconstitutional treatment.
An obvious objection is to argue that while all lives are precious, sacred gifts, some lives are more precious and sacred than others.
