REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
Alabama Supreme Court rules 8-1 that all un-implanted embryos are legal children. Meaning that every fertilized egg in an invitro-fertilization procedure has standing as a born human baby.This essentially bans fertility clinics.
Further, this phrase: “The 8-1 ruling applies The Wrongful Death of a Child Act to all unborn children, regardless of their location.” Suggesting lawmakers there intend to prosecute Alabama residents for procedures done over state lines, outside AL jurisdiction, as they are already threatening to do with abortion care.
I should also note, this threatens to criminalize certain contraceptives, such as IUDs, hormonal birth control, and Plan B medications. Because all of them may expel a fertilized egg.
It’s disturbing that this makes sense to people who have the power to make laws…
I think underneath it all is a desire for nonconsensual sexual domination. And all the religious and political ideology nonsense really just exists to obscure this underlying motive.
Yeah I think you’re right. Not much else explains the need to control every aspect of a woman’s life 🙍
