The Supreme Court is our biggest problem

Indeed, I am all a giggle and agog just waiting for fetal personhood laws to start gumming up the works. Will any refund based on the extra deduction need to be returned, and with interest, in the sad event of a miscarriage? Surely society can afford pregnancy tests to confirm the HOV lanes aren't being crowded by scofflaws. Will everyone qualify for Social Security a year earlier? With no more birthdates will we now all have a legal date of conception? As long as the world has gone insane we might as well all join in lest we miss out on the fun, I'm thinking.

Next challenges should be:

Voting age should now be based on date of conception, not birth. Same with drinking ages etc.

How do you deal with incarcerating a pregnant woman? The person inside the woman is not guilty and is now being unlawfully detained.

The list goes on and on and on.

Co-conspirator, who went along with the crime.  Unless the date of conception was after the crime, in which case they are only half as guilty.

Nope. Everyone knows that the lives of unborn are worth several other lives. After birth lock-em-up with their degenerate mothers.Conservative GOP 101 thinking.

If a  pregnant host person is incarcerated, is the time adjusted based on the number of people? Just consider, then, the new industry in artificial insemination with multiple embryos for women who are about to be convicted of something with real time attached...

Convicted women could volunteer to be surrogate mothers where time spent pregnant would come off the end of their sentence.  A win-win scenario if I ever saw one.

If a pregnant woman gets the death penalty it would be akin to abortion, which is illegal.....

Well, there was a time when a pregnant woman could be executed before 'quickening'. That is, when the fetus starts to move and can be shown to be alive.

So the embryo just successfully implanted after 28 years in storage has missed out on 10 years of elections, 12 years of driving, and seven years of drinking/gambling. 

 

OTOH, they will always win at the carnival when someone tries to guess their age.

Will birth certificates and registrations be replaced by conception certificates?

It is my belief that any woman who has a positive pregnancy test should immediately register the zygote or embryo as the case may be.

Hi Ken,

If he had any decency, he would resign.

Sigh, me thinks I ask too much.

It's deplorable so that's what I'm going to do: deplore it. I'm also going to be very, very disappointed and saddened. Now is no time for half measures.

Thank you, kindly. Some people here don't think I'm serious 100% of the time, strangely.

Article in the WaPo recently showed that Alito's vote on any case could be predicted with 100% accuracy based purely on his political bias.

Why not save money and just replace him with a right wing bot?
