I'm not an expert but I don't babies are supposed to be frozen

 @ZealousPenelopeDemocrat from Texas  agreed…2yrs2Y

So if the embryos die through IVF, will the women receiving them be accused of murder? That’s something the GOP will legislate.

 @P0litic4lPlatformDuckSocialistcommented…2yrs2Y

That's what it seems like! I am an IVF mother and it took 2 rounds, implanting 3 embryos in all. Embryo #1, in round 1 didn't attach. 1 of 2 embryos attached in round 2. Does that make me a murderer?? And if so, how??

 @ZealousPenelopeDemocrat from Texas  commented…2yrs2Y

If that makes you a murderer, it makes every woman who ever had a miscarriage a murderer.

 @SoulfulH0u5eWorking Family from Missouri  commented…2yrs2Y

Ohio tried to charge a women very recently for a miscarriage, so it's not outside reality at this point

 @P0litic4lPlatformDuckSocialistcommented…2yrs2Y

That was a disturbing case - "abuse of a corpse" - but the grand jury rightly rejected the judge's request to indict. The fetus was already ruled deceased. I'm thinking here of claims that all miscarriages are legally treated as suspected abortions.

 @SoulfulH0u5eWorking Family from Missouri  commented…2yrs2Y

Yes, in this case justice was served. But that poor women had to endure a whole lot of **** she shouldn't have simply because she miscarried in the wrong state and the wrong time.

No women should have to endure that

 @P0litic4lPlatformDuckSocialistcommented…2yrs2Y

I agree entirely.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
