    Something like this requires a nuanced approach that respects a variety of different opinions.

    It’s gonna be hilarious.

    Honestly, what is keeping anyone with frozen eggs/embryos or whatever from claiming them as dependents based on the ruling?

      I totally fucking would. It would do one of two things:

      1. The Alabama state government would make me a multi-millionaire overnight.

      2. completely reverse the ruling.

      For real? I think you’d need to get them SSNs, which might be a problem without a birth certificate or even birthday. That being said, if you are responsible for nurturing them and keeping them alive I’d say that’s a clear dependency, so I think you’d have a bureaucratic nightmare but a fun court case.

      Somebody in Alabama should float a test case, and sue for dependent claim in-state. Make those rubes pay for their proud ignorance.

      I’ve got $25 for that crowdfund. Someone with standing file it, I gotchu.

      By that same logic, could a business owner of a corporation claim said corporation as a dependent because corporations are people now?

      The IRS doesn’t agree and you’d have to sue them most likely. I doubt then the Alabama tax office would allow it.

      It’s a beautiful fuck up. They shot their load too early thinking they’re already in control. Fuckin NeoChristian Fascists. The law that binds us will be used to protect us for once. Else, rich people pay the price. You know how much rich people hate paying for stuff
