If embryos are considered children, what ramifications will that mean in abortion to protect the life of a woman? Currently our laws aren't written in a way to protect an adult's life over the life of a child.

Yes and anti abortion groups have been going after IVF for decades. Usually in anti-abortion laws, there are carve outs for IVF but probably not for long.jessilin0113 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 1:02 amI'm not super well-versed in IVF or anything like that but don't they usually make several embryos, because it doesn't usually take the first time?

But if you think that this is about protecting the life of the "child", think again. If you read reports from Heritage Foundation on IVF, the biggest negative of IVF is that it enables women to seek education and careers during their peak child-bearing years which has led to the decline in birth rates. Gotta work on building that Christian army!

I’ve seen birth control being under attack as well. Also, that should probably say white Christian army, because it’s gotta be certain brands of Christianity and definitely not liberation theology which is more widely believed/practiced by POC.jessilin0113 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:00 amOh don't worry, I've NEVER believed this is about saving children.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 9:04 amYes and anti abortion groups have been going after IVF for decades.

For whatever reason, I can post links to Twitter but they aren’t showing up like they normally do. I highly recommend reading the Twitter thread that I linked and the Media Matters link. Here’s also a screenshot:

I know I sound paranoid, but these Republican christofacists are embedding themselves in all levels of government. It's by design.mommy_jules wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 7:35 pm https://x.com/taylormatthewd/status/176 ... JJp08VIsbg

I'm more interested in claiming those 400 plus bums, I mean, congresspeople in Washington DC but the IRS keeps denying the deduction. Like I'm paying for them to have better healthcare than I can afford. And people complain about the immigrants. Yes we have to secure our borders but At least they'll build our houses and pick our produce for us which is more than I can say for any of our esteemed representatives. Idc which party they're with I'm fed up with everyone equally. And I will keep saying it's damned hypocrisy to talk of protecting embryos when our children still do active shooter drills at school and that's the best we can do for them. When their mental health has suffered since Covid and no one cares. And the Republican party hates food stamps and anything else that will actually benefit living children. The Alabama Supreme Court and their ilk can go perform an unnatural S*x act with themselves far as I'm concerned.jessilin0113 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 6:15 pm Can they be claimed as dependents on taxes?
