This keeps coming up, as if it is some sort of gotcha. Many of these states do allow this. It’s not a gotcha. Certainly it wouldn’t work in federal court, because this is a state ruling.
This ruling is awful, stupid, and misguided. The tax consequences for the state of Alabama are the least of its impacts.
I really do wish one Democrat would grow a fucking pair and say out loud that pregnancy isn’t possible without sperm so we need to regulate it. Make up some outrageous law that requires all males by the age of 18 to freeze their sperm and/or undergo vasectomies and only once they can prove they’re emotionally mature and married are they allowed to either have the vasectomy reversed or access their frozen sperm. How is it that we have no push back for this 13th century religious fuckwit to put all the burden and onus onto women, unless he doesn’t know how babies are made, which would be a relentless line of mockery and abuse he richly fucking deserves.
If the killing of any cell capable of producing a human being if provided with the right environment is murder, the clipping of a hangnail is mass murder. All of those adult cells with a full working complement of DNA could be cloned.
Natural conception discards quite as many unviable fertilized eggs at various stages of development. The anti-choice people are demanding that IVF do it with less fertilized egg loss than Nature’s Gawd does.
Are the swastikas on the wall of the Alabama Supreme Court intentional? Are they there to send a message? Or was it just an oversight? Hard to believe that a “design” with that much work put into it doesn’t have intention. Wtf?
I have two precious grandchildren conceived via IVF. Their parents struggled mightily to start a family the old fashioned way, but to no avail. Human biology sometimes does not cooperate. IVF treatment is no walk in the park. It’s stressful and sometimes painful and sometimes doesn’t work. Every couple who goes through this knows what is at stake and to have their options taken away from this is pure cruelty. I would post a pic of my beautiful grandchildren but I will protect their, and their parents’ privacy. I am saddened and outraged. Science brought my family an option for building a family and some rednecks in Alabammy want to deny people their basic right to that decision. I’m nauseated. To quote Joe, “Folks, the choice is clear.” No more spewing about his age. Just vote for him.
Pro choice is so much easier, y’all. IVF should meet the same general building and fire codes as every other clinic. They should honor the terms of their contracts. That’s all there is to it.
Once you arrogate unto yourself, the privilege to sit in judgement which women deserve sovereignty over their internal organs in what situations, your judgements are 100% fair game for politicization and “didn’t read the ruling” doesn’t cut it longer than four hours.
