Alabama Court Again Rules Unborn Children Deserve Legal Protection

in an 8-1 decision authored by Justice Tom Parker, the Alabama Supreme
Court held that the word “child” in Alabama’s chemical-endangerment
statute applies to the born and unborn in Ex parte Sarah Janie Hicks.

decision follows a similar one handed down last year by the Alabama
Supreme Court in Ankrom v. State, where Alabama’s highest court also
ruled that the word “child” includes the “unborn child.” In that case,
Liberty Counsel’s amicus brief arguing that the protection of the unborn
is in keeping with the protections afforded the born in various areas
of the law. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/
