[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the R lawmakers are trying to save the situation by passing another law that excludes frozen embryos. Seems to me that they are playing God here, deciding which embryo is a "baby" and which is not.

[quote]Melson, who chairs the Senate's Health Care Committee, said Thursday that he is planning to introduce legislation that would clarify that[b] embryos are not viable unless they are implanted in a uterus[/b].[/quote]

This is a slippery slope.  When is a fetus "viable"?  A fetus with a genetic defect that cannot survive much after being born is not "viable".  So, shouldn't the woman be able to abort such a fetus?

Too much gray area. That's the problem with these kinds of laws, and why politicians should stay away from defining medical terms and treatment.

From the same article,
“Melson, a Republican, hopes his legislation will pass quickly so that Alabama's IVF clinics can continue to operate.“

Because lawmakers are not experts in reproductive health (this guy is apparently a Dr.) they are going to draft a weak bill full of holes. It’s going to cause more chaos and it would almost be fun watching the ChristoFacists twist themselves into knots if it wasn’t at the expense of women.

I REALLY, REALLY hope they use the language that the embryo needs to be “implanted in the uterus” to be considered a child. [/quote]

If they do this, IMO this will eliminate the reasoning to refuse an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy. [/quote]
