Opinion | Let’s Thank the Alabama Supreme Court

Its decision that embryos are people offers a warning of the future toward which America may be heading.

I never thought I’d be grateful to the Alabama Supreme Court for anything, but now I am. With its decision deeming frozen embryos to be children under state law, that all-Republican court has done the impossible. It has awakened the American public, finally, to the peril of the theocratic future toward which the country has been hurtling.

Actually stopping that means both volunteering and, if you can afford it, donating

    I just want to know if the embryo is frozen for a number of years (is there a limit after which viability stops?) and then implanted, does that shorten the time before the resulting person can vote? I.e., if the embryo is frozen for fourteen years, can the resulting child vote at four?

    Is letting the eggs get freezer burned past viability, murder?

      Yes, that’s the whole point of fetal personhood laws.

      I believe the Alabama legislature made some changes after this court ruling, so it may not be that way right now.
