ALABAMA: The state’s Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that an embryo created through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a child protected by Alabama’s wrongful death act and the Alabama Constitution.
The ruling involved LePage v. Mobile Infirmary Clinic, Inc., in which parents of frozen embryos that died when an intruder tampered with the IVF freezer are suing the clinic for wrongful deaths due to negligence.
Alabama has recognized unborn babies as human beings since 2018. This ruling simply clarifies that fertilized embryos held by IVF clinics qualify under this definition. Beyond the lawsuit, the impact of the ruling will be to prevent IVF clinics from routinely destroying unused embryos. In the graphic, this practice is euphemistically referred to as “cessation of storage”, which is kinda like calling abortion “ending a pregnancy.”

ANTI-CATHOLIC: A member of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” has been arrested in Wisconsin. The sheriff’s officials are recommending he be charged with four counts of possession of child pornography and four counts of sexual exploitation of a child. He is the county’s human resources director and his “husband” is a teacher at Menasha, Wisconsin, schools.
POPE FRANCIS: The Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will no longer be celebrated at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Austin, Texas, as of March 19. Between 500 and 600 devout Catholics have attended the services each week which were held at 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Reportedly, the order to switch these to the Novus Ordo Mass in Latin came directly from the Vatican. The closest TLM Mass will be in Dripping Springs, 25 miles from Austin. The traditional priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) also offers the Traditional Latin Mass on the second and fourth Sundays of each month in Austin at the Aiden Hotel.
SATAN’S DEPOPULATION CULT: The use of chlormequat chloride in agriculture is on the rise in North America. Prior to 2017, it was rare to find it in urine samples. But in 2017, it was found in 69% of the samples collected from people in the U.S. In 2018 through 2022, it was found in 74% of the samples. In 2023, the frequency jumped to 90%.
This chemical has been shown to delay puberty, reduce fertility, and harm developing fetuses at doses lower than those deemed “safe” by regulatory agencies. Researchers recently discovered chlormequat chloride in 90% of the samples of Cheerios collected in 2023.
Ben Bartee at PJ Media writes, “What we have here is asymmetrical warfare. The vast majority of the combatants on one side (the useless eaters, as they are described by the technocracy) has no idea it is in a war.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I saw this sculpture in my FB feed. I did a Google Image Search, but was unable to find who made it. It speaks to me, especially about beating myself over the head with my past. I remember realizing, years ago when I was in therapy, that the first time someone hurt me, it was on them. But every time after, when I relived the wound and repeated the emotional pain, it was on me.
I recently watched a video by two guys who had planted identical young tomato plants with various types of raw, uncomposted kitchen scraps. At the end of the growing season, they compared the yields for each plant, then dug them up to see what had happened to each of the types of scraps and also how well developed the plants’ roots were. There were significant differences.
I didn’t pay much attention to which scraps did what, because I don’t garden. We dump all our kitchen scraps into our compost bin, then spread the goodness around the bases of our bushes and trees after it is well rotted. No, what interested me about the video was the idea of throwing raw waste into a hole and using it to nurture healthy, new growth. It reminded me of the burial scene near the end of the movie “The Shack.”
I’ve been doing a lot of memory work lately. After remembering, understanding an old hurt, and forgiving the person who caused the harm, I still struggle with the hurt. This sculpture adds to the powerful imagery from the tomato video and “The Shack.” Pounding myself over the head with bad memories, trying to change an impenetrable, rocky past, is the total opposite of throwing those hurts into a hole in good soil where God can use it to nurture new growth.
Hallelujah!
