So they’re just skipping over fetuses, infants, and babies, and skipping right to children? Are they also counted as taxpayers? Eligible recipients of child tax credits? Eligible recipients of SNAP? Federal Medicaid benefits? EBT? I bet they don’t get to vote. If they get considered by the state as children, then their parents should receive federal and state entitlements under the law.
Can’t have your heat cake and eat it too, Alabama. That knife cuts both ways.
They should all get social security numbers too!
Problem is that with a corrupt Supreme Court on the state level (the ones who handed down this decision) and on the national level too, plus a corrupt state legislature and a corrupt state governor, there is literally no one to stop them from doing exactly that. They DO get to rule both ways, because democracy is already gone in that state and Alabama government is no longer equally representative of its people, or even close to it.
I take issue with the use of the phrase ‘no longer’, it implies that they were at some point representative of it’s people. Considering the history of Alabama I don’t think we have reason to believe that the state has ever particularly cared to represent its people.
