The “sweeping and unqualified” Wrongful Death of a Minor Act “applies to all unborn children, regardless of their location,” Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell ruled. “It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation. It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy. That is especially true where, as here, the People of this State have adopted a Constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding ‘unborn life’ from legal protection.”
So does that mean the parents can claim them as dependents when they file their income taxes?

Great question!
Congress will have to parce 2,400,000 words of the IRS Code to determine that:
"In 1955, the Internal Revenue Code stood at 409,000 words. Since then, it has grown to a total of 2.4 million words: almost six times as long as it was in 1955 and almost twice as long as in 1985," the website said.

A dependent child must live with you for at lest half the year, with some exceptions carved out for qualifying temporary absences. Being housed in an off-site freezer does not seem to be on the list...but someone who's well-connected might be able to get that changed.
