James Dobson, adviser to five presidents, founder of the the James Dobson Family Institute and Family Talk radio, and author of dozens of books, has praised the Alabama Supreme Court for ruling the unborn have a right to life and the Roe v. Wade decision should be reversed.
Dobson, who was an associate clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of Southern California School of Medicine for 14 years and on the attending staff of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles for 17 years, has a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in in the field of child development. He also holds 17 honorary degrees and is a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame.
He cited the recent ruling by the Alabama high court that found an unborn baby is a “person” under the law, and, consequently, the death of that person can be punished with execution.
“I am truly encouraged by the Alabama Supreme Court’s opinion, which powerfully affirms the humanity of the unborn in the eyes of the law,” Dobson said. “In this tragic instance, by ruling that the murder of a pregnant woman is a double homicide, God has truly done as the scriptures say: what was intended for evil … God intended for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
Parker, in his concurrence, called on the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that created a “right” to abortion.
