Well of course IVF is morally wrong. If God had wanted you to have children, he’d have ~~knocked you up himself~~ made you fertile. IVF _has_ to be immoral, because of all those “babies” that die or get perpetually frozen. How sick are you to freeze “babies” just because you might want to have them later? (I realize I’m conflating IVF and frozen embryos. Comes from the same explanation.) ---

The danger in these MAGA efforts to “clean up the rolls” is if an eligible voter is erroneously removed, shows up to vote and then some rural MAGA election official decides to disallow the provisional ballot on dubious grounds. The point of the provisional process is to allow eligible voters to cure any minor administrative discrepancies that routinely occur and I don’t trust today’s GOP to adjudicate them fairly. ---

> [@Red\_Wiggler](#): > > The point of the provisional process is to allow eligible voters to cure any minor administrative discrepancies that routinely occur and I don’t trust today’s GOP to adjudicate them fairly. Of course not. Witness the case of the woman here in Texas, Crystal Mason, who wasn’t sure that her status on supervised release from a tax fraud conviction disqualified her from voting. She filled out a provisional ballot, and was subsequently arrested for voter fraud and sentenced to five years in prison. Fortunately the Texas Court of Appeals just found in her favor on appeal. ---
