[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is good that this decision affects rich white people and men. That is the only way for those in charge to become outraged.[/quote]

I hate the assumption that only "rich white people" pursue IVF.  My online infertility support group consisted of about 30 women all undergoing IVF at the same time.  Ages ranged from mid 20s to early 40s, and we ran the gamut from lower middle class to upper middle class.  And this wasn't DCUM-area "middle class", either.  
Most of us had some form of insurance coverage to make costs more affordable, but I know several women who had taken out loans to pay for it or received meds donated to their clinics.[/quote]

I’m willing to bet that the people taking advantage of IVF in Alabama are, on the whole, more well off than the people affected most dramatically by the abortion bans. The fact that they had extra money, access to insurance, or the ability to access unsecured lines of credit to pay for reproduction pretty much proves that. We are comparing them against people who can’t afford to traverse state lines for a $400 medical procedure that would spare them much expense, misery, and physical harm.

Maybe now the comfortably well off will finally understand that the Talibangelists are coming for them as well. That they are women, ergo breedstock or barren, and their color and their wealth will not protect them. I know it’s easy to say “just leave the state” but that’s not really possible for ongoing fertility treatments in a way that abortion is.

The Talibangelists want middle class people desperate for babies, babies which they will happily sell them if they do the right thing in their eyes - stay home, commit to raise as Christian, make large “donations”. IVF was part of the plan all along. The plan is Irish orphanage level of misery and corruption. [/quote]
