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

It's gonna be hilarious.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 8 months ago

That, or someone beating some fake judges with a shoe until they see sense.

One of the two.

[-] qooqie@lemmy.world 59 points 8 months ago

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

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 33 points 8 months ago

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.

What? No birthday or SSN? It's almost like they aren't really children!

"Birth Certificates are discriminatory against the unborn. The government should be required to issue Pre-birth certificates so that SSNs can be assigned to children yet to be born." -Future GOP policy champion probably

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.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 4 points 8 months ago

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

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Somebody get Nathan Fielder on the horn.

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 49 points 8 months ago

they're mad we're angry about it. make no mistake, this is their agenda. don't be fooled, fight back

"GODDAMN IT ALABAMA! YOU'VE CREAMED YOUR JORTS BEFORE WE EVEN GOT BACK INTO POWER AND NOW IT'S AN ELECTION ISSUE!"

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

Is that considered abortion since the jizz wasn't used to create life?

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

No because that would be inconvenient to men and all supposed principles go out the window when that happens around right wingers

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 4 points 8 months ago

People will forget.
