The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No need to bring a God into this. Alabama's constitution recognizes an unborn child's right to life. That's what the Alabama voters approved. They surely knew they were banishing IVF clinics when they voted. Some contraceptives might also need to be banished. I will add Alabama to my do-not-visit list.

Fetuses are not U.S. or Alabama citizens. The U.S. Constitution 14th amendment says "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." I suppose the USSC could say a fetus is a person. States with IVF clinics would then get more Representatives in Congress. Weird.

Alabama Article I Sec. 36.06 Sanctity of unborn life.
(a) This state acknowledges, declares, and affirms that it is the public policy of this state to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children, including the right to life.
