4. The State Department of Revenue has announced that expecting parents can now list their fetus as a dependent. Any taxpayer in Georgia who is pregnant between Jul. 20 and Dec. 31 of this year can use the embryo to get a tax deduction. Opponents of the decision argue that this decision could have far-reaching effects on Constitutional rights. There has been no official word on how much of a tax exemption future parents can expect, or what impact this will have on Georgia state taxes. (Now Habersham)
