Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker indicated on the show he was a proponent of the “Seven Mountains Mandate,” an explicitly theocratic doctrine at the heart of Christian nationalism.
Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker, who wrote the concurring opinion in last week’s explosive Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos have the same rights as living children, recently appeared on a show hosted by self-anointed “prophet” and QAnon conspiracy theorist.
Parker was the featured guest on “Someone You Should Know,” hosted by Johnny Enlow, a Christian nationalist influencer and devoted supporter of former President Donald Trump. Over the course of an 11-minute interview, Parker articulated a theocratic worldview at odds with a functioning, pluralistic society.
“God created government,” he told Enlow, adding that it’s “heartbreaking” that “we have let it go into the possession of others.”
I’d be claiming a shitload of dependants on my state taxes.
1 ovulation a month.
12 months a year.
Some basic math shows that my wife and I have well over 100 children according to Alabama, a good chunk from before I even met her.
Most couples with at least one female in it will have similar or higher numbers.
And all this just in time for tax season. It’s gonna be like Christmas for women, and hell for state tax officials.
Hear me out.

Buy a massive freezer.
-
Adopt every single frozen embryo you can. There should be a bunch available in Alabama.
-
Move to Alabama.
-
Claim every single one for tax credit.
-
Bankrupt the state government.
If that doesn’t work, keep going.
-
Register every fetus that’s been frozen for at least 18 years to vote. They can’t speak for themselves, so someone has to.
-
Elect sane people to office.
When your freezer conks out and all of your “children” are dead, then you are now liable.
This is why people doing IVF are so terrified. They could be held liable if their embryos become non-viable.
Can embryos inherit property? Could they be an end around on inheritance tax? The mobile children of the donors could be guardians of the inheriting embryo?
You can also draw a straight line between “embryos are children” and “all embryos must be implanted.”
Exactly. They would probably force implant embryos into women, and then arrest them for murder if the embryo fails to take hold.

WTAF is a theocrat like this even doing in our government in the first place? He apparently cannot separate his little book club’s narratives from his role in a secular government and now we learn he is a conspiracy theorist?
What book club?
I don’t think he,…reads
