For all of you who think a fertilized egg is a baby lend me your ear:
I have raised chickens almost 55 years. A friend wants some eggs to hatch. I took these pics and had to send them to 2 other chicken raisers to see if they are fertile. All 3 of us still don't agree, so I am doubting these are pictures of a living, breathing chicken. #alabamasupremecourt you are insane #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

The bill, signed into #law >3 wks after the #AlabamaSupremeCourt ruled that #FrozenEmbryos are people & individuals could be held #liable for destroying them, gives #criminal & #civil #immunity “for death or damage to an #embryo” related to #IVF. The unprecedented ruling alarmed #medical professionals & #ReproductiveRights advocates, who warned it would jeopardize IVF access. Several #Alabama providers halted IVF treatments w/in days of the decision.

Given that the Alabama Supreme Court relied on ancient notions (like 1600-1700s notions) that life begins at conception, I think the next thing they should tackle is ghost rights.

Humor Columns - If the law is going to see fertilized embryos as children, maybe IVF clinics and parents should get child benefits.

#AlabamaSupremeCourt really knows how to screw up #fundraising opportunities for the #GOP. The #IVF ruling mostly affects #wealthy people, not the group they usually suppress.

"Alabama lawmakers race to shield IVF services in wake of state Supreme Court ruling"

Do Republicans understand how the law works?? The state Supreme Court ruling cannot be undone by the legislature, or a lower court.

In other words: you're fucked!

I'm starting to think these people read #handmaids_tale and thought it was a "how to" book

From the incomparable #JohnArchibald:

#Alabama Supreme Court is a #theocracy

#AlabamaSupremeCourt chief justice #TomParker was downright gleeful.

He quoted Genesis in his #sermon — I’m sorry, his concurring opinion — in the AL ruling that turned #IVF on its head by defining #FrozenEmbryos as children.
