Alabama justice who ruled embryos are people says American law should be rooted in the Bible

On the same day that Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker handed down an opinion declaring that fertilized frozen embryos are people, imperiling women’s access to in vitro fertilization treatments, he espoused support for a once-fringe philosophy that calls on evangelical Christians to reshape society based on their interpretation of the Bible.

During an online broadcast hosted by Tennessee evangelist Johnny Enlow on Friday, Parker suggested America was founded explicitly as a Christian nation and discussed his embrace of the Seven Mountains Mandate — the belief that conservative Christians are meant to rule over seven key areas of American life, including media, business, education and government.

“God created government, and the fact that we have let it go into the possession of others, it’s heartbreaking,” Parker said in the interview, first reported this week by Media Matters for America, a liberal nonprofit media watchdog. “That’s why he is calling and equipping people to step back into these mountains right now.”

......though he didn’t have a Religious bone in his body. They in turn embraced him and he gave them what they wanted, the demise of Roe. But the monster wants more now. Republicans may have expected a backlash that they could weather, but they didn’t expect this. The movement has left their champion in the dust as he watches American Women saying “WTF are you idiots doing?”.
