    Sooo how does it work when you’ve done a successful IVF and still got a bunch of Frozen embryos waiting somewhere? Do you get back at home and put them in the freezer until you die? Are you mandated to carry them to term? What if a woman dies in a car accident before she had a chance to carry the embryo? Is the man mandated to find someone to carry them to term? I have so many questions

      Declare them all as dependents and apply for their welfare checks, and see what they say

        I get you are just making a joke but I hate responses like this, it completely misses the point. It’s like those dumb carpool memes. It just doesn’t work like that.

        Fascists absolutely do not care about consistent ideology. Their goal is to hurt people, it’s about power and disciplining/terrorizing the working class. We are cattle to them, our only purpose for existing is to serve and if we get too uppity they turn the screws. They are trying to systematically hurt and depower certain groups of people, not apply some consistent ideology. They will always just do whatever gives them power and takes power away from the groups they have deemed lower.

      I would imagine you have to pay to store them until you can find an out of state clinic to take them and dispose of them. This won’t result in fewer embryo terminations. It will likely just mean IVF will be more expensive.

        Until there is no other state that will allow it. Or the state you are in prohibits transfers like this.

          The first one is extremely unlikely. Since Alabama sees these as people, the second one would be limiting freedom of travel which would be unconstitutional. I’m sure Republicans would not want the precedent that people can be forced to stay where they are. They really hated the covid lockdowns and I am sure they would never be hypocrites. /s
