"Controversy Surrounding Alabama's IVF Ruling and Its Impact on Women"

Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker, known for invoking religion in his rulings, recently wrote a concurring opinion citing scripture and theology to define the "sanctity of unborn life" in a case involving frozen embryos. His history on the bench includes repeatedly invoking religion and laying the groundwork to overturn Roe v. Wade. Parker has also expressed support for the Seven Mountain Mandate, a theory advocating for conservative Christians to influence government and other key areas of life. His comments have drawn criticism from abortion rights activists and reproductive rights advocates.
