Alabama Supreme court rules embryos are children

Abortion is killing no matter how you phase, it sure as fuck aint health care bitch

Hmmm I wonder why then abortions can only be provided by healthcare workers.

Yes for the hysterical among us (such as yourself) abortion kills the developing fetus - the beginning stages of a human life.

If you have a problem with that, I highly recommend smelling salts and a fainting couch. And of course for you to not have an abortion.

Granted it's not like you respect life, you just enjoy the histrionics.

Just thinking aloud here. Suppose you're an Alabama resident and you have your newly-declared IVF "children" in cold storage in Alabama.
You want to relocate.

Can you?

Because as soon as you cross that Alabama state line your dear "children" lose their "rights" and become "property" once more....and we all know slavery is impermissible under the Constution (for now anyway).

Apologies if the news has already posted. It was obviously a judicial decision that didn’t sit well with Alabama residents.

The legislature and governor have responded swiftly to public sentiment. A bill was passed today, was immediately signed by the governor, and IVF providers are already taking action to resume treatments. The bill’s sponsors acknowledge they prioritized speed to get treatments restarted over perfection and will continue working on whatever refinements are needed to address lingering imperfections in the legislation.

Alabama Supreme Court Rules Embryos Are Chicken

Correcting previous reports, the court clarified that embryos are not children but are in fact chicken.

“They taste exactly like chicken,” stated Billy Bob Boxworm, chief justice of Alabama’s Supreme Court.

In response, Republicans scrambled to pass any bill that might prove that not all Alabama Republicans are fuckwits. So far their efforts have proven futile.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Michelle Steel, a two-term Republican congresswoman from a competitive Orange County-area district, announced Thursday she's withdrawing her co-sponsorship of the Life at Conception Act, saying she favors in vitro fertilization.

“I do not support federal restrictions on IVF,” Steel said on the House floor. “I’m removing myself from the bill because it could create confusion about my support for the blessings of having children through IVF. I hereby remove my name as cosponsor.”

The reversal comes two days after Steel won her primary to advance to the general election this fall, securing enough support from Republicans to move forward.

she's voiced support for IVF even as she supported 'life begins at conception', but didn't sign on to any IVF protections. her attempts at clarifying her position... didn't.

she’s “an ardent supporter of IVF” while adding: “I believe life begins at conception.”

johnson, naturally, claims support for IVF even as he insists life begins at fertilisation, but refuses to see Congress' role in determining the rules around disposal of unused/unwanted/unviable embryonic tissue, pushing it back to individual states to decide.
