Why isn't anyone on the front line asking if these "presonhood" zygotes qualify as tax dependents? HopeHoops Aug 2012 #1

Take note: A sexually active woman is likely to pass six or more zygotes per year - $22,200... HopeHoops Aug 2012 #2

... in tax deductions if the GOP considers those zygotes to be "people". If they're going to go with the personhood thing, they need to extend it to tax deductions for dependents (based on the average). Every year! Unless you've been medically altered to render fertilization impossible, all women of breeding age should receive a $22,200 annual deduction PLUS $3,700 each for the zygotes that actually came to full term. Yo, GOP - Put up or shut up.
