    So they’re just skipping over fetuses, infants, and babies, and skipping right to children? Are they also counted as taxpayers? Eligible recipients of child tax credits? Eligible recipients of SNAP? Federal Medicaid benefits? EBT? I bet they don’t get to vote. If they get considered by the state as children, then their parents should receive federal and state entitlements under the law.

    Can’t have your heat cake and eat it too, Alabama. That knife cuts both ways.

        I take issue with the use of the phrase ‘no longer’, it implies that they were at some point representative of it’s people. Considering the history of Alabama I don’t think we have reason to believe that the state has ever particularly cared to represent its people.

    Every sexually active woman is basically a serial killer by this definition.

    Fertility services in Alabama involving embryos is about to die, since it won’t be possible to cover employees (or be an employee, depending on where penalties land).

    If no-one can handle live embryos without risking litigation, then no-one will handle live embryos.

    I’d like to see a law that says your States’ education rates (public and government officials) have to be a certain level before you’re allowed to dictate the medical or reproductive rights of others.

    And when the South is no longer dragging the rest of the Country down, we can make laws that benefit everyone, not just mega churches and meth heads. Wouldn’t that be great?
