Here’s what I haven’t really seen in the wake of the Alabama ruling.
From those who agree with the reasoning, I haven’t seen an immediate, responsive desire to adopt what will inevitably be an overwhelming number of embryos that have chromosomal abnormalities. Because now in Alabama, embryos that would carry terminal genetic conditions, like Mia’s, that guarantee miscarriage, significant pain and suffering, or global developmental delays, will remain viable for implantation.
And if you truly believe, as supporters of this ruling say they do, that these embryos are already children, how is there not an overwhelming demand to care for the least of these, to adopt and implant and carry each embryo?
Who among these supporters will knowingly choose to take on this mantle of birthing and caring for a medically fragile child, to modify their homes and lives, to quit their jobs so they can travel to therapies and specialist appointments, learn how to vent feeding tubes and clean CPAP machines, and risk bankruptcy and max out their insurance plans to ensure that these children have the lives they are entitled to? Because that is the immediate implication of this ruling.
