"The Father of IVF"

Ask him what IVF stands for.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Of course they did

Stop electing Republicans.

Head spinning

Trump says whatever he thinks gets him the votes.  And he'll change it in a New York minute. He's now talking about having the government pay for IVF treatments.  That's not gonna fly, for two reasons: 1) it's very expensive, and 2) the Christofascists aren't for it.

So now, he's finding out what he can and can't say.  Yesterday he said six weeks abortion ban is too restrictive.  "I want more weeks."  But, today:

He's also now saying his disjointed rambling is intentional...

Hilarious.

Par for the GOP course

Only Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski cast GOP votes in favor.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Republicans should be getting the hint

Florida was cued up

A Florida Republican senator this week said she has sidelined a bill that seeks to add fetuses to wrongful death lawsuits amid ongoing concern from Democrats that the legislation was an attempt to grant personhood to fetuses.

Lawmakers expected to hear the bill, SB 476, in the Senate committee on Rules on Monday but Chair Debbie Mayfield announced that it had been temporarily postponed.

Only the backlash over the Alabama ruling has put a halt to this avenue of MAGA control over conception and women's rights.  It'll come back around.

“Although I have worked diligently to respond to questions and concerns, I understand there is still work that needs to be done,” Grall said. “It is important we get the policy right with an issue of this significance.”

Extrauterine children

In a case originating from Mobile, LePage v. Mobile Infirmary Clinic, Inc., the [Alabama] Supreme Court held in a 7-2 decision that parents of frozen embryos killed at an IVF clinic when an intruder tampered with an IVF freezer may proceed with a wrongful death lawsuit against the clinic for alleged negligence.

[...]

[T]he defendants and their amicus devote large portions of their briefs to emphasizing undesirable public-policy outcomes that, they say, will arise if this Court does not create an exception to wrongful-death liability for extrauterine children.

[...]

On appeal, the Supreme Court has now reversed the trial court and held that a human frozen embryo is a “child,” which is “an unborn or recently born person,” within the plain meaning of the Act and under prior judicial decisions recognizing that unborn children are protected by Alabama law.

[...]

That life is sacred because every human being is made in the image of God, noted Chief Justice Parker, and the People chose to make that a clear matter of constitutional law. As to the effect of the Sanctity of Life Amendment, Chief Justice Parker reasoned that it “does much more than simply declare a moral value that the People of Alabama like. Instead, this constitutional provision tilts the scales of the law in favor of protecting unborn life.”

And what did those IVF clinics do with the frozen embryos they already have?  "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Doe, We are closing our clinic; come pick up your children."
