You know how Republicans hate the idea of anchor babies and do everything they can to disenfranchise those children.

"The bill provides embryos and fetuses with "all the rights privileges, and immunities" of other citizens."
I am thinking those dilweeds in Oklahoma don't realize that they just gave full citizenship to an embryo... even if it is in the body of a Mexican woman or a Japanese woman or any woman visiting from another country.
The Republicans may have just invented the "anchor embryo".
I wonder how they are gonna feel when they realize that they just accomplished a major plank of the DEMOCRATIC immigration platform.

(1,601 posts)The ones that are frozen for In Vitro. Is this child abuse by the parents or the doctors/clinics? Is it murder on who's part to dispose of these very small people?
I want to know who is going to pay for all of this abuse to the unborn cells?
