I never thought I’d be grateful to the Alabama Supreme Court for anything, but now I am. With its decision deeming frozen embryos to be children under state law, that all-Republican court has done the impossible. It has awakened the American public, finally, to the peril of the theocratic future toward which the country has been hurtling.
Actually stopping that means both volunteering and, if you can afford it, donating

I just want to know if the embryo is frozen for a number of years (is there a limit after which viability stops?) and then implanted, does that shorten the time before the resulting person can vote? I.e., if the embryo is frozen for fourteen years, can the resulting child vote at four?
Is letting the eggs get freezer burned past viability, murder?

Yes, that’s the whole point of fetal personhood laws.
I believe the Alabama legislature made some changes after this court ruling, so it may not be that way right now.
A lot of conservative women are waking up to the idea that they [and their friends] might not be able to get the treatments they want.
Leopards, meet faces…
Does this mean those owing state taxes to Alabama can deduct all their frozen embryos on their taxes?
People are trying. Not clear that it will actually work.
Also not clear if military recruiters can enlist ones that have been frozen for 18 years.
That would be amazing. Thousands upon thousands of frozen little ice pellets in tiny parachutes being dropped over some middle east country in the name of freedom.
name of freedom.
You mean oil right?
Same thing.
Also not clear if military recruiters can enlist ones that have been frozen for 18 years.
The military doesn’t just recruit 18 years olds against their will. However, if any of those are male embryos and over 18 I wonder if they can be charged will failure to sign up for Selective Service? Presumably since they are in the custody of the parents the quarter million dollar fine each would land on their heads. We may have to start enforcing that old law again…
Let’s thank the bullet that killed your father for showing us how much bullets can kill.
That’s the NYT for you
So, newspapers shouldn’t print opinion pieces you don’t agree with?
I didn’t say that at all. Just that the NYT has a tendency to put a right-wing spin on everything
lol! I’ve heard Trump scream a million times that it was a Left wing rag.

That’s called working the ref.
That’s because Trump thinks any media that doesn’t praise him as the smartest, richest, handsomest, and most powerful man in the world is a “Left wing rag”. I’m sure now that Faux News was forced to add fact checkers to avoid another devastating lawsuit he thinks they’re “liberal” and “woke” now as well.
