Considering there is nothing to stop a convicted criminal from running for President, I'm not sure why they shouldn't also be able to vote.
Frozen embryos are children, Ala. high court says in unprecedented ruling

once someone has served their time for their crime, they are released back into society. they get jobs, pay taxes, live their lives. Yet somehow they’ve permanently lost the one thing all citizens possess - the right to vote.
congrats, youve just created a 2nd class citizen.

We can codify it that way - some states explicitly have, others explicitly have not - but there's no logical or necessary link.
I oppose denying the vote to criminals. With the possible exception of people who commit election or voting crimes, that punishment simply doesn't fit the crime. Moreover, our laws mostly prescribe fines or prison time and such as penalties, not the loss of the constitutional right to vote.
People should be able to vote while in jail, imo. I have never heard a good reason against that.
According to our constitution, you have to be a citizen of an appropriate age to vote in federal elections; those restraints are permitted but not required in other elections. Those are all the limits we need, if any.
“The People of Alabama have declared the public policy of this State to be that unborn human life is sacred,” Chief Justice Tom Parker wrote in his concurring opinion. “We believe that each human being, from the moment of conception, is made in the image of God, created by Him to reflect His likeness.”
This religiously centered psycho babble from a State Chief Justice's opinion is all you need to really know how phucked up many of our court systems actually are. Parker should have been forcibly removed from the bench yesterday IMO. Just unbelievable.

Give it time. There’s all kinds of anti-masturbation groups out there.
They should have their right to vote reinstated when their debt to society is fully paid (prison time/parole/fines), imo.
UAB health systems have put IVF procedures on hold for now. How does harming people who want to be parents advance the cause?

Soon there will be no ob/gyns in any red state. They're already leaving in droves
States With Abortion Bans Are Losing a Generation of Ob-Gyns
Half of US counties have no ob-gyn, and post-Roe laws prevent new doctors from getting required training. It's only going to get worse.
The child in the womb is a live human, stop being so obtuse.
It's an embryo. Which MIGHT develop fully to become a baby.
It also might not.
According to Alabama my first wife is a murderer because she ****ed around after IVF, and had a miscarriage.
I'll allow it

Yeah, I wish someone would ask her if she and her husband used all of their embryos and if not what are her plans for their frozen babies.
One them them is the Speaker of the House.
Now she's trying to walk her statement back and claim it has to do with parent's rights. I didn't read anything about parents rights in the articles I've read about the Alabama ruling.
She sure does suck at this. It's like the slavery question.
She just can't make a statement without considering the fall out that might come from the MAGAs. She's never going to get their vote for the nomination so she should try sticking to her own beliefs instead of trying to be on both sides of the issues.
It again is so weird. She seemed to have finally realized her only hope was to attack trump and rally the non-MAGA members of the party and hope that’s enough; and now she’s pandering to the base again.
That she does. It’s like she’s afraid to hurt anyone’s feelings and can’t make a decision of her own. Not sure how well that’s going to work out for her.
It’s really to bad that artificial insemination worked for her and her husband and she didn’t have to reach the point of using IVF. It would be nice to have an opinion from someone that actually went through the process and knows the struggles before this stupid law went into effect.

I thought Haley used IVF to have her son, but apparently it was artificial insemination not IVF.
She's the classic, "pull the ladder up behind you," bootstrapper.
It is the Badge of Honor for the GOP of today.
Zero empathy for anyone who may have walked a different path than you have. Struggling to conceive a child can be a significant stress for some couples/families. And the kicker here is that most of the ones who can afford the procedure are white and middle-class or upper-middle-class, who would vote with the very conservatives looking to ban the procedures.
I wasn't going to vote for her anyway, but she just keeps getting less and less acceptable.
Or they work at a place that pays crap but has a great health insurance plan and/or they take out a loan and hope some day Biden will make it go away.
Dude,
You didnt know that any extra payments paid on a loan could be applied to principal and thought it just got applied to future months payments
My favorite thing about separation of Church & State is the State's use of Church to enact policies. Unbelievable
Dude,
I don’t take 20 years to pay off a student loan. When you do that, you’re not exactly paying off any principle. You’ll still pay the interest on the back end as they drag the loan out with smaller minimum payments.

I saw this thread on frozen embryos and thought I'd find cooking tips and recipes.
Should I thaw them before popping them into the air fryer?
I assume they will go well with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

What? Not even a comment on the movie reference?
Tough crowd, or just young?
Do you want silence of the lamb or dumb and dumber.
Reguardless it’s a bit disturbing.
Yes that’s it. I disapprove of air fryers and not of cooking embryos in them.
