Alabama families who are struggling with fertility can now look forward to no fertility clinics willing to endure the legal risk of operating in that state.
Great job republicans. These weird ass “pro life” laws continue to prevent people who want kids from having them, or prevent people from having them without dying.
Not to mention those who can afford to will simply leave to make families elsewhere. Making a child generally tends to rank higher on people's priorities list than staying in one state forever.
Especially when that state is Alabama.
Good news: fundies agree with you. They always hated IVF and view infertility as God’s judgment on you as a person.
Seems like part of the goal. Outlaw abortion, force everyone who doesn't want a child to hand it over to the state, which will outsource to religious organizations, and then tighten up the child supply so anyone who can't have but wants a child will have to go through a local church to get access, and the price will go up.
Win win win for the religious fanatics.
Soon it'll be illegal to end your ovulation cycle because every egg is a life. Jesus these people are some fucking dumb religious zealots.
They aren't dumb. They're evil and trying to enslave women to reproductive labor.
Many are both. The intelligently evil ones are being overrun by stupid, cruel hicks.
No no... I've met many that are really fucking dumb. The evil ones are the people in charge, convincing them of the bullshit.
A recent (satire) headline from The Onion: https://www.theonion.com/alabama-middle-schooler-jailed-after-taking-basketball-1851186115
That's what makes them so incredibly dangerous.
The stupid sword cuts everyone including its owner.
It won't be long before the Monty Python song about every sperm being sacred, becomes the MAGA crowds mantra. Wankers that they are.
Bloody Catholics filling the bloody world with bloody children they can't afford to bloody feed.
That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen- seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas,... [sniff] ...and, Protestantism doesn't stop at the simple condom! Oh, no! I can wear French Ticklers if I want
You what?
French Ticklers. Black Mambos. Crocodile Ribs. Sheaths that are designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual congress
I gotta confess. Cuz the guilt is overwhelming.
In my teens and early twenties, I committed A LOT of sacrilege on a daily basis.
We're talking millions of coulda-been-babies that ended up wrapped in tissue and tossed into trash cans.
If it was millions and not billions, you might want to see a doc if you ever plan on having kids
Bruh I've killed more babies than all the humans that have ever been born
bOtH sIdEs aRe tHe sAmE!!!
The fuck they are. If you are a woman voting republican you are OK with other people telling you what to do with your body.
Sooo how does it work when you've done a successful IVF and still got a bunch of Frozen embryos waiting somewhere? Do you get back at home and put them in the freezer until you die? Are you mandated to carry them to term? What if a woman dies in a car accident before she had a chance to carry the embryo? Is the man mandated to find someone to carry them to term? I have so many questions
Declare them all as dependents and apply for their welfare checks, and see what they say
GQP: No not like that!
I get you are just making a joke but I hate responses like this, it completely misses the point. It's like those dumb carpool memes. It just doesn't work like that.
Fascists absolutely do not care about consistent ideology. Their goal is to hurt people, it's about power and disciplining/terrorizing the working class. We are cattle to them, our only purpose for existing is to serve and if we get too uppity they turn the screws. They are trying to systematically hurt and depower certain groups of people, not apply some consistent ideology. They will always just do whatever gives them power and takes power away from the groups they have deemed lower.
I would imagine you have to pay to store them until you can find an out of state clinic to take them and dispose of them. This won't result in fewer embryo terminations. It will likely just mean IVF will be more expensive.
Don't forget kids, a miscarriage is murder.
Slavery is freedom.
Those with money are the only people who matter, and whoever has the most is the one who deserves to decide every aspect of how everyone else should live.
So ... if they are people ... and they aren't used for 21 years ... can their infant form but alcohol?
IVF results in children being born who otherwise would not have been. These are women who want to be pregnant and give birth. Yet, the pro-life movement is trying to destroy this kind of healthcare.
I for one am sick and tired of everyone talking about freedom and 2A rights when nobody has done a single fucking thing about the obvious tyranny.
There's another thread begging us not to excoriate Alabama citizens because of a few corrupt politicians and religious wackos. NO. I was born there. My family are there. And they are a bunch of psychotic freedom-hating, gun-toting, bible-thumping neanderthal psychopaths just like their politicians are.
Here are the facts: the people whining and complaining about this sit there and take it. It's always someone else; it's never the psychotic lunatics in their own family, so they take it. If only all those other people would speak up and do something.
My brother has spent his lifetime campaigning for pro-life causes whenever he can because he went to a psychotic christian university. I don't have anything to do with him. His only son killed himself at 13 in a gun mishap but he is masturbating FURIOUSLY over this AL SupCourt decision.
This WILL continue until you ACTUALLY FIGHT IT. If you have no intention to or think that's somehow barbaric, then sit down and shut the fuck up.
2A fight has been lost decades ago. It now only is overweight larpers with their AR platforms. In order for the 2A to mean anything we need to build a national network of militias. Without that infrastructure an armed action or threat is just a lunatic with a gun
Whoops, no they aren't.
Made a whoopsie there, Alabama
If embryos are children, then make it illegal to freeze them and lock them away in an ice box.... That's a cruel form of torture
This is your brain on Christianity
If they’re people they should be given ARs and put on the street to spread freedom.
So if they are children we can take them off our taxes? I joke but that same thinking happened in Georgia when the pregnant woman used the HOV lane being the only person in the car.

Wow what a tax write off. Imagine claiming child tax credits on frozen embryos… You could just freeze a hundred or even thousands of embryos and watch the cash flow in perpetuity…
The patient removed embryos from the freezer, and “it is believed that the cryopreservation’s subzero temperatures burned the eloping patient’s hands, causing him or her to drop the cryopreserved embryonic human beings on the floor, where they began to slowly die,” one of the filings stated.
So the patient killed his or her frozen embryos and now they're suing the clinic for wrongful death of a minor. Makes sense on so many levels.
This patient killed three other couple's embryos, not their own. The clinic is being sued and I assume (can't find confirmation) that this patient is also getting sued.
