Now it's in their faces and they can't run away from it.
They can kill pregnant women and chalk it up to Gods' will. Now they are denying people babies to save babies.
I want to see how crazy the debate gets
Denying opportunities for wanted children for non-babies. To control the wombs of millions.
Saw another article just now. Governor of California points out that they are fine with a rapist having parental rights but are upset with actual parents wanting to control their situation.
Well yeah, because the rapist is a man.
And child marriage
"I never thought the leopards would eat my face!"
I assume the ruling was "embyos are and always have been children". Wonder if there isn't any malicious compliance options for people who's treatments have stopped?
Can't think of anything off the top of my head, but the ruling was insane so there has to be some sort of insane tort someone can come up with
Claim all of your frozen embryos as dependents
And just keep them frozen indefinitely. "I see you've been claiming your... children... as dependents for the past..." checks notes "...38 years. How old are they now?" "Oh, they're approximately -9 months old."
What about women who don't have any embryos stored, but have functioning ovaries? They should be claiming about 6 million dependents, right?
This is the obvious one, but my brain keeps trying to think of something much more evil-chaotic and accelerationist.
Like, suing the clinic that stopped treatments for kidnapping. Or demanding visitation
What people aren't getting is that the ruling is actually entirely consistent with right wing logic. If you are opposed to Plan B pills because they prevent fertilization from occuring, then IVF is essentially mass murder. More stories like this are going to be coming down the pipe pretty soon.
They didn't really have any choice, really, if they want to ban abortions.
The only way to ban abortions is to call it murder by declaring the embryo a human being instead of a clump of cells.
Now by doing that, how to you say an embryo in the womb is a human being but an embryo outside of the womb is not?
They trapped themselves trying to accomplish an agenda that has nothing to do with science or logic.
