#Alabama’s GOP-controlled House voted Thursday to give doctors who provide in-vitro fertilization civil and criminal immunity for any death or damage to embryos. #IVF

@GottaLaff I'm sure that they didn't immunize the patients involved is just an honest oversight.

Yeah, totally sure about that

Sure Jan...

@GottaLaff Over under on this going to the SCOTUS... 🤔

(There is only so much time you can reverse yourself until something truly bad happens)

@GottaLaff So, life DOESN’T begin at conception?

@GottaLaff
So, to follow their logic, these cells are “children,” but it’s okay if they’re damaged or destroyed.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@cynblogger It's never been about the "children"

@GottaLaff beautiful GOP strategy -- make the whole issue illegal and legal so they can say they support whatever they want and the practice will still stop because doctors and patients can be prosecuted randomly with any changing wind

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@fmhueffer Because it's never been about abortion. It's about control, power.

@GottaLaff Frozen embryos are always babies except when they aren't. And, trust me, these people will believe that both of those things are true. Because doublethink.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@chuck88 Because it's never been about that.

@GottaLaff That as well.

@GottaLaff This will 💯 be struck down by the good Commanders — excuse me, JUDGES — who are rapturing in Gileadan delight.

Under his 👁️

@PamelaBarroway Of course.

@GottaLaff At least now (mostly) everyone is now disabused of the notion that the R’s fascist theocratic ambitions wouldn’t affect them.

    @KatM If they're by GOP, yes. @PandaChronicle

    Eddiethebulldog ,

    @GottaLaff so, there are exceptions then for rich white uses of "abortion' but not everyday medical or personal choices for everyone else. That's the problem with "leave it to the states" and, in general, with feels/Christian laws vs science based laws. The original Roe tackled the conception vs viability question scientifically.

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @Eddiethebulldog Leave it to the states: bullshit. It's code for Be racist, be misogynist, be bigoted, be a fascist.

    @GottaLaff @Eddiethebulldog Same thing that "States' Rights" has always been.

    @GottaLaff Since Embryos are now "children", I wonder if they were smart enough to differentiate?

    So, create a rw-nut job republican mess. Then, oops--- the people hate us. Try to clean up the mess. What a way to govern. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤬

    @GottaLaff So what was the point? Who’s handling embryos outside of those options?

    @GottaLaff Gotta love hearing that business deserves autonomy but not women. Woo, priorities!

    @donw Exactly

    @GottaLaff

    That still leaves open prosecution of the WOMEN for IVF embryos that don't take? 🤔

    bronakins ,
    @bronakins@sfba.social avatar

    @GottaLaff

    Who knew effectively banning IVF would be SO UNPOPULAR⁉️

    Sheesh!! I KNEW — EVERYBODY KNEW‼️ Did Alabama intentionally put all its idiots on their highest court?

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @bronakins Yes.

    @StrangeNoises@mastodon.social avatar

    @GottaLaff so what they're saying now is, frozen embryos are children, but there's now a class of people who have a license to murder them.

    Because they'd rather do that than say they're not children yet.

    (actually TFA says "frozen eggs" but i thought it was frozen embryos…?)

    @GottaLaff So if an IVF doctor flips out and destroys their own lab, they're not liable? Cool.

    michaelgemar ,
    @michaelgemar@mstdn.ca avatar

    @GottaLaff So embryos aren't actually people now?

    These folks are cowards who aren't willing to follow our their principles to the repugnant conclusion.

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @michaelgemar They're nuts. Truly.

    @cowvin@retro.pizza avatar

    @GottaLaff I'm waiting for this to be held unconstitutional by the Alabama Supreme Court because embryos are people.

    GottaLaff OP ,

    @cowvin Oh you know it
