He had a high motor and is a team player
I would say that the re-acceptance of the John Birch Society is the final stage of the GOPâs disintegration, but of course thatâs hopelessly naive.
Is the GOP not wanting to fund Ukraine based solely on Putin helping Trump in 2016 and Zelenskyy not wanting to help Trump by pretending to investigate Biden?

IVF is one of those things that seems like an unquestionable good and you have to ask yourself what the fuck do these people have against a good thing?

IVF gives women choices. Therefore it is bad.
Itâs really nothing more complex than that.

What are the implications of this exactly? Presumably IVF is still OK to do. You canât destroy unused embryos, but who has to store them indefinitely and who keeps track of that?
Put them in apartments we are keeping the homeless from having.

I assume itâs like a lot of the rules around womenâs healthcare - itâs unclear and scary enough to keep the providers from wanting to go anywhere near it.
What happens when the implantation fails and the embryo âdiesâ?
Just a thought experimentâŚ
Another thought experiment:
Someone should sue saying that the congressional districts are all wrong. Iâm assuming that most of the frozen embryos are in big cities.
If the embryos are children, they should be counted in the population.

Sounds like natural a causes to me. Definitely not murder, as the intent is the exact opposite of that. Maybe some wingnut could spin it into a lesser killing charge.

May I repeat:
Sorry, let me elucidate. The people who ruled on this and the leadership of Alabama are these wingnuts. They WILL use this ruling to call it murderâŚwhich is why this will kill IVF. Women arenât gonna risk getting charged and doctors arenât gonna want to do it.

Youâre really going to have to finish that thought. I think IVF gives men choices as well, but setting that aside, you have to draw the line between the law and less access to IVF. I think that you were heading in the right direction with your thought experiment, but Iâm looking for something concrete. What will actually happen? Itâs obviously a dumb and unnecessary law, but thatâs not the question.
LFS had a decent hypothesis:
But Iâm not sure thatâs how it will go down. With abortion, how a provider could get into trouble is a lot more clear.
