Okay. Don't stop there Alabama. So if an embryo is now a child, let's talk now about dependents and tax exemptions, protective services, custodial rights and responsibilities, welfare benefits, insurance requirements, HOV rules, census counts, adoption and fostering rules, school districts and education funds, estate planning and probate.... You wanted to open Pandora's damn box - now every piece of state legislation that involves a child now needs to be adjusted.
Might get interesting in the news as questions arise over what the new guidelines are. But of course they won't get addressed. Of course, of course.
Even worse potentially is causing a miscarriage is potentially murder. Miscarriages can happen for all sorts of reasons, some of which a person has no reasonable expectation that it'd cause one. That could still be at least third degree manslaughter though, if not worse. Fetal personhood is a huge can of worms that shouldn't be touched. Way to go Alabama...
It just sounds like you can sue gas and automotive companies for their damages to your developing child
