The state's highest court reversed a judge's dismissal of the case involving embryos destroyed by a wandering Mobile hospital patient.

Alabama families who are struggling with fertility can now look forward to no fertility clinics willing to endure the legal risk of operating in that state.

Great job republicans. These weird ass “pro life” laws continue to prevent people who want kids from having them, or prevent people from having them without dying.

Not to mention those who can afford to will simply leave to make families elsewhere. Making a child generally tends to rank higher on people's priorities list than staying in one state forever.

Especially when that state is Alabama.

Good news: fundies agree with you. They always hated IVF and view infertility as God’s judgment on you as a person.

(unless it happens to them personally, of course)

That's when it becomes "God's plan".

[–] flipht@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

Seems like part of the goal. Outlaw abortion, force everyone who doesn't want a child to hand it over to the state, which will outsource to religious organizations, and then tighten up the child supply so anyone who can't have but wants a child will have to go through a local church to get access, and the price will go up.

Win win win for the religious fanatics.

many of them don't like unnatural procreation.

[–] not_again@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Creation of embryos should happen entirely outside the body of the female, followed by decapitation of the male as God intended.

Sincerely,

P. Mantis, esq

you thought autoerotic asphyxiation was good. Wait till you try autoerotic decapitation.

Well it seems they're all in the illegal business of buying and selling children. They'll have to all be prosecuted anyhow, including all the donors and buyers. Along with the state itself for allowing the selling of children for all these years.
