The Alabama Justice Who Invoked God in the IVF Embryo Ruling – The New York Times

In an Alabama Supreme Court decision that has rattled reproductive medicine across the country, a majority of the justices said the law was clear that frozen embryos should be considered children: Unborn children are children.

But the court s chief justice, Tom Parker, drew on more than the Constitution and legal precedent to explain his determination.

Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, he wrote in a concurring opinion that invoked the Book of Genesis and the prophet Jeremiah and quoted at length from the writings of 16th- and 17th-century theologians.

Even before birth, he added, all human beings have the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory.
