I guess soon, when you break-up with someone, the state might charge you with killing the idea of the children you might have had.
10 more years and we are at "contraception is murder"
10? Try 1 if Trump gets in.
🎶 every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good 🎶
Can't wait to tell Republicans how many millions of babies I've eaten
Alabama top selling item on Amazon right now:
Dodson! We’ve got Dodson here.
Nobody cares. Nice hat.
Isn't it illegal to transport a child to commit a crime? Human trafficking? Kidnapping? What a can of worms. I feel like there's too much money in fertility treatments for SCOTUS to let this stand.
Well since they don't have birth certificates I guess they're undocumented people and that would be bad mmkay.
Embryo camps. Spotlights, very small dogs. We'll get every last one.
They're my kids so they can live in my freezer
Freezer full of tax deductions
This is a travesty. These people are engaging in blatant and obvious child trafficking
Won't be long until Alabama considers miscarriage to be murder. Wait...that actually is already a thing:
But wait... that means they can claim them as dependents right?
One would think.
Tinder in certain states will put up an alert, warning you that if female, by proceeding with the date, you may be liable to carry a child to term, and if male, will need to pre-deposit child support in an escrow account.
The onion almost got me again.
Wait..
I'm not messing with that soft paywall. Are they saying that parents who let their frozen embryos go bad in the freezer are guilty of murder or manslaughter?
That's one interpretation. The judge used religious logic in his ruling.
Fucking Christian whackos
we need to get religion out of our society, it causes nothing but problems.
The judge used ~~religious logic~~ religion in his ruling.
Ain't no logic to be found there.
COUPLE ATTEMPTS TO SMUGGLE CHILDREN ACROSS STATE LINES
More at ten
If I were in Alabama I'd race to move out of Alabama
If those embryos count as children, wouldn't it be OK to ask for all kinds of legal benefits for them?
It’s the most effective way to challenge the law. Just carry it through to its natural conclusion.
Sounds like transporting a minor across state lines
if a woman has a period and has had sex, there is a good chance a fertilized egg was probably somewhere around the blood, making every woman in Alabama who has had sex a possible serial killer
What kind of monster submerges their child in liquid nitrogen?
Sounds like human trafficking to me!
Think of the potential tax wind fall these people could have! I'd knuckle shuffle up some "kids" and rake in the tax money.
By that logic, women are committing murder every time they menstruate.
Maybe I missed something because the article is behind a paywall.
Edit: ok, as pointed out, I don’t know how these things work. I apologize, and accept all the downvotes and jabs you can give.
By that logic, women are committing murder every time they menstruate.
An unfertilized egg is not the same thing as an embryo.
Well… their religion has a virgin birth so maybe that’s where their confusion comes from.
If a couple who has a frozen embryo divorces, who pays child support and for how long?
Shouldn't they do that with actual children as well? Just to be safe?
Children are only important until they are born. After that's happened they can work down the mines for all they care.
Isn't classifying a gamete, but only the female gamete (egg/ovum), and not the male gamete (sperm), of being "children" and has personhood rights, a form of sexist law. I know the Land of freedom is no rookie in taking away freedoms of the marginalized, almost the norm, but now they are taking away male gametes from being recognised as persons. Imagine in one ejaculation in Alabama and having a murder count similar to Stalin or Hitler. The court will show it was premeditated because the person bypassed state restrictions pulling out during copulation, the accused thus commited mass murder. This goes against Genesis 38 and it's Devine condemnation of coitus interruptus. Even the egg was unfertilized thus another death of a person was committed by the accused pullout game
Not trying to defend the ruling, but it's not eggs, it's embryos
I’d be taking my fetusicles and getting the hell out of dodge too, if I were in their shoes.
Probably time to remind everybody the Judiciary branch can't actually enforce its rulings. If they're going to go full on religious crazy we can just start ignoring them.
Dafuq going on ova der?
