Babies in utero now qualify as dependents on tax returns in Georgia

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : This, of course, has wide-ranging implications, one of them pertaining to taxation.
46% : Vanity Fair's Bess Levin called the announcement "terrifying," though conceded the tax exemptions "could be helpful to low-income people who want to be pregnant." Suggesting that a blastocyst would qualify despite not having a heartbeat, Kansas Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate cited Georgia's new tax exemption as cause to vote against Kansas' proposed Amendment 2, which would ban abortion in the state.
45% : After having delayed its deliberations on the state's pro-life law in 2021 to await the Supreme Court's conclusions, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on July 20 that -- in the words of Chief Judge William Pryor -- the Dobbs ruling "makes clear that no right to abortion exists under the Constitution, so Georgia may prohibit them."
