MONTGOMERY, AL, January 11, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Today the Alabama Supreme Court held that the word “child†in Alabama’s chemical endangerment statute applies to the born and unborn.
The case reached the Supreme Court on an appeal by Amanda Kimbrough who admitted to smoking meth three days before the premature birth of her son Timmy. Born at 25 weeks, Timmy survived only 19 minutes after birth and was found to have died from “accute methamphetamine intoxication.â€
The ruling states, “The decision of this Court today is in keeping with the widespread legal recognition that unborn children are persons with rights that should be protected by law.â€
“Today,†the court added, “the only major area in which unborn children are denied legal protection is abortion, and that denial is only because of the dictates of Roe.â€
