Comment on Frozen embryos are “children,” according to Alabama’s Supreme Court
essteeyou@lemmy.world 7 months agoI’ve seen my sister going through this process for years. It’s emotionally challenging, financially challenging, and risky to her health. She’s had two ectopic pregnancies and had to be operated on twice. If she manages to have one baby she’ll be happy, and there’s no way it would make sense to implant all the other embryos given the health risk to her. So what would Alabama have her do?
I’m glad she doesn’t live there.

Alabama would have probably let her die with one of the ectopic pregnancies tbh.

I have heard someone say in all seriousness that it’s still murder to abort an ectopic pregnancy (which would just kill the mom and ‘child’ if allowed to continue)…

“But god can save her! If it’s part of his plan they will survive!”
/s if it wasn’t obvious.

I mean the odds aren’t very different for the kid after the procedure. Why can’t God save them after? Not even /s, why don’t they ever have an answer for that? If we’re relying on a miracle anyway, why would an infinitely powerful god needsuch constrained circumstances to make it work?
