GOP bills would give expectant parents tax exemption on fetus

[Grindelwald]

You said zygote. You fail. Again.

I used it as an example.

[LarryN]

I used it as an example.

A really dumb example considering the entire issue concerns fetuses beyond 12 weeks. No one ever suggested a tax exemption for zygotes.

[songfourone]

There are some who believe life begins at conception.

So should all have to kneel to that belief?

[Mom49of4]

I have never such a thing. Should we bow to your belief on life?

Only dumb to those trapped inside a red bubble.

Pretty sure partial-birth abortions are banned.

From what?

[bullmikey]

It bothers me because it is such an obvious pander. And what about in vitro? Say a couple has fertilized eggs not yet implanted in the mother? Are there deductions as well?

Don't know. Don't care.

[bullmikey]

I agree with you there - a disgusting way to kill a baby.

I guess it's me, mom, but I can't think of any non-disgusting ways to kill a baby.

Touche!

See that is the thing about pro-choice, you get to make the choice that is right for you. It is so simple a caveman can do it.

What do you mean by this?

Read songfourone's post. That should explain it - it was in response to her.

I did. Your answer doesn't make sense to me, It seems to imply that sfo would be making people get abortions, which I don't believe is what he meant. There are people who don't believe life begins at conception. Should they be forced to live their life based on someone else's belief that it does?

[Mom49of4]

I have already acknowledged that there is a difference of opinion when life begins.

If some had their way it would be just like that.

[songfourone]

Touche!

Least we forget that zygotes, embryos, fetuses, newborns, infants, die every minute of every day, by no fault of anyone.

True, you have. But some legislators want to legislate based on their own religious beliefs. Too many women die needlessly for want of an abortion.

So the fetus gets a tax break, then once the fetus develops and is born no tax break. If a woman is having quadruplets does each fetus get a tax break. Octomom comes to mind....... in-vitro comes to mind. Well next week we'll see how the vote goes.


"The period of gestation would have to be determined by a physician."
Perhaps repubs will introduce a bill so the doctor gets a exemption on each fetus, since they would need his confirmation.
