What I missed at first, and then read somewhere, is that these are not #embryos, but zygotes. If the law really pertains to zygotes, women’s ovaries would be owned by the state, and getting a hysterectomy would be a criminal act. And can’t just bust on female zygotes: gotta clamp down on all those sperm swimming around. Not to mention the ones jettisoned into socks, and condoms, and random pies.
