If a blastocysts are a legal child, every parent of one would be able to claim them as child dependents on their Alabama state taxes. Moreover, if this "has always been the case", parents of such blastocysts should not only claim them on their 2024 taxes, but going at least as far back as 2022 to refile, and as far back as refiling is allowed.
Same for child support.
Same for the loss of a pregnancy or miscarriage since at least 2022, if not before; those losses should be accounted for as the loss of a minor child, with the tax and liability implications those express.
This chaos is the end result of lack of critical thinking, as demonstrated by the juror's citation of the Bible in his ruling.
It's also an invitation for militant prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against anyone who had a documented miscarriage. If they can gather evidence someone used drugs, drank alcohol, took prescription medication, ate sushi or soft cheese, exercised vigorously, etc. while pregnant, they'll charge child endangerment or whatever else they can. One public photo on Facebook from the relevant time period will be all they need.
The pompous, sanctimonious, self-righteous attitude of our rulers in every branch of government apparently has no limit, but continues to metastasize until it reaches the most infinitesimal corners of our lives. Shall we let the American experiment die an ignominious death, or shall we summon the determination to take whatever steps are necessary to restore it to its former glory?
My friends went through twelve rounds of IVF to get a single embryo. If it was destroyed through malice or gross negligence something more then the loss of some genetic material would have taken place. Their only chance at a child would be gone.
The families were well within their rights to sue for compensation and that compensation should reflect that an embryo is more then a clump of cells.
IVF has resumed in Alabama. You are hyper ventilating over nothing.
