Something like this requires a nuanced approach that respects a variety of different opinions.

It's gonna be hilarious.

That, or someone beating some fake judges with a shoe until they see sense.

One of the two.

Honestly, what is keeping anyone with frozen eggs/embryos or whatever from claiming them as dependents based on the ruling?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

I totally fucking would. It would do one of two things:

  1. The Alabama state government would make me a multi-millionaire overnight.

  2. completely reverse the ruling.

For real? I think you'd need to get them SSNs, which might be a problem without a birth certificate or even birthday. That being said, if you are responsible for nurturing them and keeping them alive I'd say that's a clear dependency, so I think you'd have a bureaucratic nightmare but a fun court case.

What? No birthday or SSN? It's almost like they aren't really children!

"Birth Certificates are discriminatory against the unborn. The government should be required to issue Pre-birth certificates so that SSNs can be assigned to children yet to be born." -Future GOP policy champion probably

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

By that same logic, could a business owner of a corporation claim said corporation as a dependent because corporations are people now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

The IRS doesn't agree and you'd have to sue them most likely. I doubt then the Alabama tax office would allow it.

Somebody get Nathan Fielder on the horn.

Is that considered abortion since the jizz wasn't used to create life?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

No because that would be inconvenient to men and all supposed principles go out the window when that happens around right wingers

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

People will forget.
