No actually. They let the bill proposing to make unborn children dependents on your taxes die. So we get all the punishments, and none of the benefits.
Unfortunately they made embryos children for the purposes of punishments, but let the bill die that would have made them dependents on taxes.
That is not legal. They have made embryos children when looking for people to put in jail, and not children when looking to give out benefits. Very convenient for the state budget!
No the religious zealots here do not. School coaches require prayer before practices and games, same sex couples get banned from prom, kids at school get tricked into going to fun after school events that turn out to actually be evangelism stunts. A lot of applications to educational programs, gymnastics programs, and jobs ask about "leadership" which is code for experience as a church deacon or active evangelist.
We almost got this with Alabama 2023 bill HB182 which would grant unborn children as dependents on taxes. The bill didn't pass. These people want children to count only when dolling out punishments.
We here in bama have been preferring the term Talibama.
Hehe are you referencing the Boondocks episode? I happened to watch that just a few days ago, and it was brilliant.
My company gave a temporary 2% raise to everyone last year due to inflation. This year they said inflation was not up, so they took away the raise. The audacity!
In order to avoid obnoxious replies, I intentionally chose not to name the particular country I had in mind. The point still stands -- there are going to be people in the workplace from cultures with more misogyny than others. And the culture they grew up in will have had an effect on their attitudes.
You have no idea that some cultures prefer women barefoot, pregnant, and cleaning their house rather than in the workplace? You have no idea that many cultures are not used to having female bosses over male workers?
I work a tech job at a corporate company that isn't a tech company. 9/10 males have been delightful. They have hired women as head of IT twice in a row now. But there was one coworker who immediately assumed and acted like I knew nothing. He may do that to everyone though to seem smarter and superior... very ambitious guy. I also suspected it may have also been influenced by the non-US culture he grew up in.

They arrested an addict whose drug use may have led to a miscarriage, or who may have just had a miscarriage completely unrelated to the drug use, or a mixture of multiple issues.
There is no difference between this and obesity, alcohol, smoking, or poor diet. Obesity has a voluntary aspect to it, and increases your chances of miscarriage. Eating non-nutritious foods, micro plastics, not taking prenatal vitamins can all contribute to miscarriage. Getting into a car accident while voluntarily driving while pregnant, staying with a violent husband who beats you while pregnant... I mean where do you draw the line at making the pregnant woman 100% responsible for anything that happens while she is pregnant?
