        Every sperm is a child. If you shoot your load in to an infertile female or any other object you have committed 5 million simultaneous abortions and will be executed publicly.

    The Alabama legislature is going to fix the issue. Probably won’t even take them that long, because banning IVF is not what anyone wanted and the law SCOAL cited was from the goddamn 1800s. No one really believes that fertilized embryos in a cooler are indistinguishable from Steve in accounting.

    Then conservatives will claim this as a victory, and say that the law is doing its job to “protect life” (force pregnancy and birth on unwilling and uncompensated citizens) and that they’re so amazing at compromise and everyone should love them.

        • P1: Steve in Accounting never answers the phone.
        • P2: Frozen embryos never answer the phone.
        • C: Steve is a frozen embryo.

      I wonder if we can make it so as long as you freeze the scrapped out egg after your abortion it’s okay

        Jokes aside, that is not how nearly any abortions work these days.

        Nearly universally, abortions are medical – a pair of pills – that can be very roughly described as causing a miscarriage.

        It also will not be hard at all to avoid creating any loopholes, especially when the courts are clearly on the anti-choice side.

    I wouldn’t be too surprised. After the heart beat bills that came out soon after the supreme court ruling a lot of language for abortion pills felt like it could be applied potentially to birth control. I don’t think those bills passed where I am but it is worrying.

    RvW was looking like it was going down: immediately got my shit together, stopped putting it off, and finally got snipped.

    I knew what was next then and I’ve been seeing a slow burn towards the obvious consequences ever since. No regretti - but it’s a serious issue for everyone. Not everybody is Never Kids like I am.

    Bet you and the Democratic Party are wishing you’d codified this in law back when you had the chance, rather than just fundraising off the fear of Roe vs Wade falling, huh?

    Also, I bet you wish you’d campaigned harder in swing states and not taken Trump’s populist appeal for granted, huh?
