An informational pamphlet for Arizona voters, who will decide in the fall whether to guarantee a constitutional right to an abortion, can refer to an embryo or fetus as an “unborn human being,” the state’s highest court ruled Wednesday.

The Arizona Supreme Court justices sided with Republican lawmakers, who drafted the language sent to all voters in the state, over proponents of the ballot measure on abortion rights.

The ruling comes as abortion foes have long worked to give embryos and fetuses the same legal and constitutional protections on par with those of the women carrying them. The issue was highlighted recently when the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are legally protected children, forcing lawmakers to scramble to enact protections for in vitro fertilization.

Is there any evidence at all that this actually helps the anti-abortionists' case? Because I have a feeling this is just them being desperate.

Conservatives have always been good at framing the narrative. It helps them convince people to believe things that are simply not true. This is not a new strategy. It has been working for them for 60 years.

They really are. My mom is "pro-life" and religious, but when I interviewed her about exactly what she believed, she said birth is hard and would never want to force anyone to do it. I'm like... You're pro choice then.

Death Tax, entitlements, handouts, illegal immigrants, family values, conservatives are really good at drawing arbitrary lines around their own group and then using doublespeak to make everyone else seem unreasonable. Tomes have been written on the subject.

I agree with you in general. I just don't know that it will work this time since everyone already knows what abortion is.

Lying is all they know, so they have to do this. The alternative is to do nothing.

Conservatives have always been good at framing the narrative.

Probably not this time.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Perhaps 'pre-born possible maga', to reflect the bias.

Dear conservatives... #1 Can we claim child tax credits on fetuses? Y/N #2 Do frozen fertilized eggs count as fetuses? Y/N

Asking for an accountant.
