The Alabama Supreme Court Justice Who Invoked God in the Frozen Embryo Ruling


Alabama Supreme Court Justice Tom Parker invoked religious beliefs in a ruling that declared frozen embryos as children. He cited the wrath of God and theological references to support his opinion. This decision has sparked both praise and concern, with conservative groups applauding his defense of life while critics fear his religious doctrine may influence legal decisions. Parker's Christian beliefs have consistently shaped his approach to the law, and his influence has been instrumental in challenging Roe v. Wade. His critics argue that he has laid out a roadmap for overturning the landmark abortion ruling. Parker's career has been marked by his strong conservative advocacy and close ties to figures like Roy Moore. The recent 8-1 decision by the Republican-majority court allows couples to pursue a wrongful-death lawsuit over destroyed embryos, a ruling that has raised concerns about assigning personhood to embryos outside the human body.
