In Alabama, we have opportunity for Name it and Claim it, 2.0

Adopt an available embryo and get a nice tax deduction.

The embryos could stay frozen at the clinic and the adoptive parents could name it and claim it on their taxes.

It’s the new, “Name it and claim it,” for any of you who grew up in the church. I hope someone will try this.

We are all 9 months older. In my case, 7 months, I was a preemie.

About birthdates:

Alabamians will now have two legal dates to carry around:
1) The date you became a child
2) The date you were born

a liberal atheist.

She was just so fed up with everything they did that went against the teachings of Jesus.

Now she doesn't even believe in Jesus anymore, either.
