125 House Republicans back 'life at conception' bill, no IVF exception

An old Senate version of the bill included an exception for in vitro fertilization. Even some vulnerable Republicans have backed the hard-right bill.

    If frozen embryos are children, I can claim them as dependents on my taxes, right?

      I’m assuming that housing and utility expenses are being paid on their behalf, so yes. That should count.

        They’re pretty consistent about doing whatever benefits them most. Otherwise, nah.

      Fun fact, the only way you can claim dependents on your taxes is with a social security number. Some people in the US are exempt from the Social Security system and don’t have a number.

      So good luck getting a social security number for a frozen embryo.

    Is masturbation going to considered mass murder? Or premeditated mass murder?

    If life begins at conception, can we get some tax laws changed to reflect that?

          It was a masterbation joke. I was trying to make light of the situation based on OP’s initial comment.

      You could have 100 ivf embryos setup and claim them as dependants and they’re super cheap to provide for. Just a freeze tank.

        But then risk of a single power outage and you’ll be on death row for the murder of 100 kids.

    Slightly misleading. The bill was introduced about a month ago, before the Alabama SC ruling. There is no mention of IVF in the bill. That doesn’t mean it would be banned per se, but up to federal courts to interpret.

      With the logic and reasoning capabilities of the current batch of assholes, if it doesn’t say it’s exempt, it’s not exempt.

      The courts are going to ban it, just as they sanctioned hair-based racial discrimination in TX despite a law protecting against that specific discrimination.

      It’ll be just like abortion being denied the people. Bans for thee and rights for me

      There’s probably a couple of nuts in the senate that would go for this, but no way in hell that a majority of republicans want anything to do with this, not to mention the democrat majority and POTUS veto power.

    Wonder if they also want to adopt the Korean “babies are a year old at birth” thing too. Or maybe this whole thing is trash and they don’t care about internal consistency

        I don’t believe that’s entirely accurate. Like for enough people for it to be a problem yeah they’re just cruel. I think it is more accurate though to say that power and control are the point. Some people are willing to do that by creating fear and offering ‘solutions’. Imo he cruelty is a side effect of having to continually up the stakes
