Will they have to change their tax laws? Can you require birth for some things and not for others? “ You can take an exemption for a dependent who was born or who died during the tax year if he or she met the qualifications for a dependent while alive. This means that a baby who lived only a few minutes can be claimed as a dependent.” https://www.revenue.alabama.gov/individual-corporate/alabama-dependents/ |

That’s actually not true. I can judge those actions which violate Church teaching as right or wrong. It’s why we have Doctrine. Do I condemn those people who have committed the wrong-no. As a Catholic though I am obligated to support the teachings of the Church which are universal. |

You are allowed to base your vote on what you choose. Imposing Catholic doctrine on all the citizens of this country is a very minority position and it will lose. It has lost in many recent special elections and it will lose in November. |

Who says you can - or should judge? I grew up catholic and am not recalling that teaching in the bible, church, or religion class. How Jesus-y of you . . . |

I'm really tired of evangelicals and conservative Catholics imposing their religions on everyone else.
I'm Christian and I'm tired of it, can't imagine how tired non Christians are. |

The clinic would be idiotic to appeal it, because they are unlikely to win. The Supreme Court would also be excited to take a case like this because it would give them an opportunity to create a precedent restricting IVF and abortion nationwide. |

If you told me they were still shielding child raping priests and moving them on to fresh victims, I’d believe you. They have never reconciled their sins, though they’re pretty obsessed with the contents of women’s uteruses - no birth control, no IVF, no sex, no abortion, the fetus must be prioritized over the living woman. Like that’s the sole definition of protecting life. |

What you consider to be "universal" someone else might consider to be suffocating. When the royal "you" impose your morals and ethics on to others, it is problematic. |

If you believe god has given you that gift, that is your option. Others believe in science. |

The facts of the original case are beyond bizarre and seem like some bad movie. A “patient” at a fertility clinic “eloped” and broke into the room that stored frozen embryos, broke into the storage and grabbed several frozen embryos (in their containers) with their bare hands. Since that was basically a serious freezer, the eloper’s hands were severely burned immediately from the freezing metal and so the eloper dropped all of the embryos he/she was carrying and them broke onto the floor. When the breach was discovered the frozen embryos essentially had died.
So this was a joint lawsuit from 3 of the affected families who lost embryos for “unlawful death”. |

I believe in science. My argument is that for every religious person telling me that IVF is forbidden by this or that church there is a flip argument that IVF is encouraged by this or that church. In my opinion reproductive decisions are private and personal. No one has to treat infertility with IVF but no one should be denied that treatment if they believe that it is the right decision for their situation. |
