Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'd be claiming a shitload of dependants on my state taxes.
1 ovulation a month.
12 months a year.
Some basic math shows that my wife and I have well over 100 children according to Alabama, a good chunk from before I even met her.
Most couples with at least one female in it will have similar or higher numbers.
And all this just in time for tax season. It’s gonna be like Christmas for women, and hell for state tax officials.
They’d have to be fertilized embryos, not just eggs, so not quite. But pretty damn close.
God's stepchildren.
Maybe I’m ignorant of how IVF works, but I thought as soon as the embryo was made it had to be implanted. The freezer is just for the eggs.
I could be wrong, I’ve been fortunate enough not to have to deal with IVF.
IVF has a lot of frozen embryos that don't get used. Fertilized. They get extra because it can be tricky for it to take, so it often takes several tries
Fascinating.
I thought it would be quite risky to freeze an embryo, as they start dividing extremely rapidly once fertilization takes place.
Man, science is so cool.
