Problem is the court decision rested in large part on the Alabama constitution. |
The people who should be feeling guilt are the ones who would sacrifice the wellbeing — and perhaps the LIFE —of an already existing, fully developed, sentient, living woman in an attempt to save the *potential* for a fetus to become a living, sentient person. |
Are they tax deductions? If not, then they are not children and I would bet IRS would deny an embryo as a child. |
Can’t put that genie back in the bottle. |
Well, the fetus *could* be male, and I may be in a position to profit from the sale of it to one of my barren but faithful church members, so that’s a sacrifice I’m fine with you making. -Christofacists |
I just can’t reconcile the dissonance of “embryos are people” and “Trump is our guy.”
Make it make sense. |
+1 Amanda Zurawski, the woman from Texas who developed septic shock and very nearly died due to inability to get a timely abortion, has moved her frozen embryos to another state. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/woman-suing-texas-abortion-ban-plans-move-embryos-state-rcna140134 |
I agree. Here is more on what they’re scrambling to do. https://www.al.com/news/2024/02/alabama-bill-would-protect-ivf-treatments-after-courts-frozen-embryo-ruling.html I read the decision and one of the arguments the plaintiffs made, that the Alabama Supreme Court declared they weren’t deciding on because they felt they didn’t need to based on what they did decide on (and rendered the point then mute) was not classifying embryos outside of a uterus as children while classifying interuterine ones as people would be a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. So that idea is now out there. If the Alabama state legislature passes, making an affirmative distinction, will someone push this issues again? |
+1 why is an embryo in a woman a life but not if it's in a petri dish? Clearly, this is purely about trying to control a woman's body. |
yes, can a pro-birther explain to us why a frozen embryo is not a life but an embryo in a girl/woman's uterus is? |
That entire decision was heavily premised on God and religion. Apparently those judges forgot the whole freedom of religion thing. |
I think we can all agree: good people don’t vote for the GOP. They’ve shown themselves to be amoral, selfish ghouls who will lie and twist and hide behind “I’m just joking! I’d never make rape legal… unless a guy really really needs to have sex and she’s asking for it. But that’s totally different and I’m joking. Can’t you take a joke?” |
Too late. And this pro-choice Democrat candidate is going to flip an Alabama house seat on March 26th. https://www.marilynlands.com/ |
Definitely too late. Be so wary of any scrambling to fix a major problem that these fools apparently did not even see coming. How is it even possible that they did not think this through earlier for these patients?
Move on from these lunatics and get some pro choice people in power that with protect IVF and abortion and other medical necessities for people that need them. And pro choice policies respect people that don't choose to get any of these procedures as well. |
