Alabama Supreme Court chief justice spreads Christian nationalist rhetoric on QAnon conspiracy theorist's show
"God created government. And the fact that we have let it go into the possession of others, it's heartbreaking for those of us who understand. And we know it is for Him," Alabama Chief Justice #Parker said on a recent podcast hosted by Christian activist Johnny #Enlow.
"And that's why He is calling and equipping people to step back into these mountains right now."
Parker's remarks on the podcast were released the same day that the Alabama Supreme Court issued its ruling on IVF embryos.
His appearance on the show was first reported by Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog organization.

“The three embryos that we have, that are frozen right now, that we can’t use as of right now, are very important to us and our best hope,” Tucker Legerski said. “I don’t know if we would be able to afford another egg retrieval and transfer or creating more embryos, because of the emotional and financial costs.”
The Legerskis are far from the only prospective parents wondering what the future of IVF holds, both inside Alabama and beyond its borders. IVF patients and advocates in Alabama are rushing to figure out what the ruling and subsequent cessation of care means for their deeply time-sensitive plans.
Outside Alabama, people are petrified that similar restrictions could soon surface in their state now that Alabama has blazed a trail.

#Florida lawmakers have postponed a bill that would give fetuses civil rights after a similar ruling in #Alabama has halted in vitro fertilization treatment at several clinics in the state.
The “#fetal #personhood” bill had been gaining support amid Florida’s mostly Republican lawmakers.
The legislation attempts to define a fetus as an “unborn child”, allowing parents to collect financial damages in the case of wrongful death, the Tampa Bay Times reported.But the bill has largely stalled after Democrats argued that the legislation could affect in vitro fertilization ( #IVF ) treatments, as seen in Alabama after the state’s supreme court ruled earlier this month that embryos created through IVF are considered “#extrauterine #children”.
Since the ruling, several Alabama IVF clinics have paused services.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/27/fetal-personhood-ivf-florida?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
