Now that the Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that frozen eggs "extra-uterine" children...

Now that the Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that frozen eggs “extra-uterine” children have the same rights as children, I plan on claiming 10 or so dependents on next year’s taxes.

And, I’m going to keep one in the car so I can use the carpool lane.

Yeah. A little bit tongue-in-cheek there.

I want to see a woman or a man who has had a part in creating this "person" claim about 20 dependents on their federal tax return. Which one gets the deduction? The "father" or the "mother"? So many questions!
