In a speech that included quotes from the Bible, the TV show Reacher, and the lyrics of 90's rapper Vanilla Ice, Republican state Rep. Ernie Yarbrough introduced an amendment to the bill to add that "immunity will not be provided to a person who intentionally causes the death of an unborn child."

LMFAO Please tell me he used "ice ice baby" in a speech about frozen embryos 🤣

So essentially they didn't address one of the biggest issues, what to do with the remaining embryos. Seems pretty on brand for conservative legislation.

From what I gathered the legislation was simple enough with just being two paragraphs long (imagine a world where there's not 50 pages of bullshit and 2 ear marks to vote on) that it reads that they're able to do whatever they want without getting in trouble for it. Keep em or toss em.

Thanks for the clarification. I read it quickly earlier and missed the part where the amendment was voted down.
