The Alabama Supreme Court just handed the people of Alabama a great tax break. Their ruling on a fertilized egg means it is a dependent and therefore a tax dependent. Often that IVF procedure creates ten to twenty or more fertilized eggs. The parents have to pay the storage fee so there is the financial support and housing. Isn’t that the criteria for claiming a dependent in Alabama?

            The procedure isn’t cheap and can cost several thousand dollars but getting an extra few dependents for the rest of a person’s tax life would be a plus in a few years. Maybe the U.S. Supreme Court would give all Americans that tax break! A billionaire could save millions of dollars.

            Of course that ruling does away with the four, six, twelve, or later abortion limit. Isn’t that the conservative bugaboo of court’s deciding society?
