A third #Alabama#IVF clinic has halted treatment as the fallout from last week’s state Supreme Court ruling that frozen #embryos are legally #children continues to disrupt IVF access across the state.
The Center for Reproductive Medicine in Mobile, 1 of just 7 IVF clinics statewide, announced Thurs that it had paused IVF procedures in light of the court ruling.
In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker extensively quoted #scripture as he argued the people of #Alabama have embraced the notion that “even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, & their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory.” [wtaf???]
Once on the bench, Parker routinely invoked #scripture, criticizing peers who didn’t.
“When judges don’t rule in the fear of the Lord, everything’s falling apart,”he once wrote, per a 2014 ProPublica investigation. “The whole world is coming unglued.”
He frequently heard cases that allowed him to opine on #fetuses & human #life.
“Today, the only major area in which unborn children are denied #legal protection is #abortion,” he wrote in 1 case, “& that denial is only because of… #Roe.”
While the Alliance Defending Freedom states that it works to promote freedom of religion, it is a fundamentalist Christian organization, and employees must profess "adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture."
