"The Impact of Alabama's IVF Ruling on Christian Nationalism and Fetal Personhood"
The recent Alabama state supreme court ruling on IVF embryos as "extrauterine children" has brought attention to the growing influence of Christian nationalism in US politics, with Justice Tom Parker openly citing the Bible and Christian theologians in his opinion. A study shows that 30% of Americans support Christian nationalist views, with white evangelicals particularly likely to hold these beliefs. The movement's influence has led to legal and political victories, including the overturning of Roe v Wade, and has gained traction within the Republican party. If Trump wins a second term, experts fear further infusion of Christian nationalist ideas into US governance.
