Let's stop using the word conceived and switch to fertilization.
Go up and ask a "christian" their birth date. When they tell you, say, "No, the date you were fertilized."
Then accuse them of being the only religion that constantly lies about their age to seem younger.
And tell them that vanity is a sin and they will go to hell for being vain.
To be fair, date of birth is not contested. Their argument is that human life starts before birth. If you're asking for birth date, don't act confused if they respond with date of birth.
Maybe if you want to make a point, ask for "age", and then follow up with a clarifying question - is it since your fertilization or birth?
we did it patrick. we saved abortion.
Expecting Republicans to apply their laws with consistency or logic is like expecting them to suddenly start having a shred of empathy
I was talking to a friend about how the other states should freeze like millions of embryos so their population goes up, and they get more people in the house of representatives.
She told me it doesn't work that way :(
It doesn't work that way. Yet.
State laws don't supersede federal laws.
What do you think the ruling will be on the eggs aging? If it's from fertilization, will every live person need to update their age by a few days?
Will they get the right to vote at 18 years from fertilization?
These "children" obviously have a handicap, so they should also be get disability for their lifetime.
This really brings a new meaning to "But sir, she said she was 18."
Think about how hard it will be to explain the difference between chronological and biological age to the average supporter of this ruling... You will probably have to throw away and replace the eggs every 18 years, or you get more votes but lose the tax advantage.
That'd be "murder" though - guess you'll have to just keep the train rolling.
I mean eggs are really small So it wouldn't be hard to keep a ton of them for your whole life
Can you claim life insurance when the power outage kills them?
That's what I'm thinking.
That's the consequence of hicks rejecting education.
Why does this guy look like he's in a bad American adaptation of Mr Bean?
He's more of a Borat.
Ain't all bad, they'll let you marry your sister.
The children need to have Social Security Numbers to be claimed as dependants...
It only takes one low level functionary.
What happens when a couple separate and they have a hundred frozen embryos? How much does this impact child support rulings? how about custody?
Do these "lives" also constitute constituent counts e.g. does this now influence the voting power of a region?
Enroll them in private school to also get a child tax credit.
Well, the Waltons family made their fortune having the federal government pay for employees, so this would be similar.
Looks like child labor's back on the menu boys!
I'm pretty sure it costs a lot to do this procedure and even more to continue storage every year. Would love to see the breakdown, but I feel like it may not be worth it?
But you also don't have to pay for food or clothes.
And you could try to argue this is a form of childcare so that you can pay for it with pre-tax dollars in an FSA/HSA account.
"What that means."
Only problem is that you will also have to pay a shitload in child support
Only if the couple divorces and the courts say so.
The only cost for raising the egg kids is the cost of the freezing electric bill.
I called this last week :P
despite all of this... I still think Mississippi is my least favorite state.
yeah idk. You could probably write off the maintenance bills, but that still just moves it into untaxed income, you're probably better of giving the government their share or starting some small business that loses money and bought a new vehicle or something.
