Georgia will allow women carrying an unborn child with “a detectable human heartbeat (which may occur as early as six weeks’ gestation)” to claim a dependent personal exemption worth $3,000 for the fetus.
Pregnant women in Georgia can now claim their embryo as a dependent on their state income taxes, the state’s revenue department said this week in a decision reflecting the array of new questions for a country without a federal right to abortion.
Following the Supreme Court decision, a federal appellate court cleared the way for Georgia’s abortion ban after six weeks of pregnancy to take effect. The state laws allow certain exceptions, including rape, incest and when the mother’s life is in danger. Eligibility to claim the dependent exemption began July 20, the same day the appellate judges lifted the stay on Georgia’s law.
Other states are moving in that direction. For example, a Michigan bill would let parents claim a $200 income-tax credit for a fetus that reached 12 weeks gestation by the end of 2022. Last year, the bill passed the legislature’s House of Representatives. “‘This is a signal of what’s to come in other states that define personhood starting as early as Georgia does.’”
In another case, an eight-months pregnant woman in Texas driving in the carpooling lane recently said a traffic ticket was unfair because her unborn baby counted as a passenger.In many states, the fight over abortion access in a post-Roe world is intense.
