Alabama court ruled frozen embryos are children.

There are many decisions in human development that have not taken place at that time. You might want to call it a human, but it may die, it may be destined to not have a brain, and it may have other dread disease that will show up before birth. A fetus is very definitely NOT yet a person.

And, you are still ignoring that the fetus may be incompatible with the life of the pregnant woman.

Our constitution refers to persons and citizens - NOT fetuses.

 

A) not “babies” and b) protecting the life of a woman should be prime because how can she have more babies if she is dead?

"The case that was before the state Supreme Court, stemming from a couple’s divorce, could have had significant implications for IVF in Texas.'

HOUSTON — The Texas Supreme Court on Friday declined to consider whether frozen embryos are people or property in the eyes of the law — a ruling that could have had dramatic consequences in a state where in vitro fertilization is booming. ... “I’m happy that IVF stays the way it is,” said Patrick Wright, the attorney for the prevailing party in the case, who was sued amid a divorce. Yet he cautioned that the issue is likely to resurface during next year’s legislative session. “This is just the start.”

The case was brought by a Dallas-area woman after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 and a Texas law making abortion a felony — punishable by up to life in prison — was “triggered” to take effect. That law, Caroline Antoun argues, requires her three frozen embryos to be treated as children in her divorce instead of property to be divided. ... “What’s at stake is my ability to protect my unborn children,” Antoun said in a recent interview, insisting that while antiabortion groups have supported her, she’s not against abortion but for personhood and parents’ rights. “The current law is failing us.”

No paywall.

'Texas Supreme Court rejects case that could have imperiled IVF access'
;The justices allowed a lower court’s opinion to stand, and, for now, sidestepped the question of whether a frozen embryo has the same rights as a living child.'
snip:

'The case centers on Gaby and Caroline Antoun, a Denton couple who divorced in 2022. They divided up their assets and settled on a custody agreement for their children. The major point of contention, however, was the frozen embryos the couple created while doing IVF in 2019.

While doing IVF, the couple signed a contract saying that in case of divorce, the embryos would go to Gaby Antoun, the husband. At a hearing on June 29, 2022, a judge upheld that contract and awarded him the embryos.'

snip:

'Two months later, Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect, and Caroline Antoun asked the court for a new trial. She pointed to the abortion law, which defines an “unborn child” as “an individual living member of the homo sapiens species from fertilization until birth, including the entire embryonic and fetal stages of development.”

“Because fertilization has occurred, the embryos are unborn children and thus people as Texas defines them,” her lawyers wrote in a brief. “They are unborn children and should be treated as having all the rights and constitutional protections of children.”

The court disagreed, and Caroline Antoun appealed. The 2nd Court of Appeals in Fort Worth ruled that her arguments were “a classic example of taking a definition out of its legislatively created context and using it in a context that the legislature did not intend.”

Sorry for the late response your post scrolled way down due to rapidly developing events of late.

SCIENCE calls it human, a new human BEING. That it may die does not make it something else that is patent nonsense. A person is an individual human being and the newly created human being fits that definition and the our founding document says nothing about "person" it says that it is a SELF EVIDENT truth that we are created with our UNALIENABLE right to our life. The government doesn't define that right through some legal "personhood" label, it is UNALIENABLE. It is an INHERENT right from your creation endowed by your creator whomever you believe that to be. The Constitution protects that right of ours from the government.

 

Yes when a mother has an abortion she is having her unborn child, her unborn baby killed what's the argument here?

 

No “science” does NOT call “it” a “human being” that is a fallacy

 

And if she is having a miscarriage?

 

Not every fetus is viable. There are numerous problems that are fatal, or nearly so - a fetus can die, have no brain or have bones so brittle that they break even before birth, with no solution.

Also, you keep forgetting that the mother's help is a serious issue, too.

>>> Why do you refuse to value the life of the pregnant woman?

Do you really think that a woman's life is worthless???

 

Try reading the article which has **** to do with abortions and your so-called "unborn baby killed".

Texas Supreme Court Declines to Classify Embryos as Children (1)

I am the one who HAS pointed it out, the OP article, while your side insisted it was about abortion. SCIENCE defines when the human life begins not politicians.

 

Specious.

 

Her unborn baby will not survive as nature takes it's course. Do you not know the difference you dying of natural causes and someone purposely killing you?

 

Yes as I cited from the medical and science textbooks. Cite where they say different.
