Democrats need to learn from the GOP how to game the system. If they want to count embryos as people, well let’s include them in the census. Blue states represent tens of millions more people so let’s generate enough embryos to ensure a permanent blue majority.
While we’re at it let’s give custody of some of those embryos to the good democrats, so they can claim them as dependents. The state will start sweating when it sees its revenues from democratic areas plunge to near zero.
Harrowing, the killed bill in TN, in particular. I completely buy that the overturning of Roe is the beginning of a long-imagined political project that totally obliterates reproductive freedom for women. I wonder if I am a fool to see a glimmer of hope in the way many Republicans have distanced themselves from the AL ruling, having undergone IVF themselves to have children.
As far as GOP officeholders, I think their reaction to the IVF ruling is largely cynicism. As others have pointed out, some now saying they support IVF backed a fetal personhood bill a couple of years ago that, by definition, means they support the ruling. Sigh.
It worries me, too. And the occasional rhetorical scolding, if it's not backed by any meaningful action, only makes Biden look ineffectual or insincere, or both.
What worries me at the moment... prior to October 7th, Netanyahu was just Netanyahu. Now his (and hamas') multiple levels of incompetence are threatening Biden's reelection. I believe Biden wants a reasonable solution that might bring young voters back to the blue, but that won't happen until a cease fire and Israel kicking Netanyahu to the curb.

They're worried parents with frozen embryos are going to claim tax breaks per "child".

Do Americans who practice other religions besides Christianity need to worry about institutionalized discrimination due to Project 2025?
