A potential human child? Sure, but that is not what the Alabama Supreme Court opinion stated. They said that embryos (the first stage of a fertilized egg up to roughly 10 weeks of pregnancy before it becomes a fetus) are definitively human children and that disposal of them would be equivalent to murder.
Their legal arguments depended almost solely on the Dobbs U.S. Supreme Court decision that stripped women of the right to a legal abortion at the federal level. This is a legally controversial decision to say the least.
Plus the chief justice along with the opinion writer of the Alabama Court decision both used religious language and claims that have no place in a legal opinion. The U.S. Supreme Court was not that blatant in Dobbs, but we know that several of the justices already on the court or appointed by Trump hold strong religious beliefs that fuel their conservatism.
For me, medical science is the best guide for fundamental questions like this over any type of religious or other belief system. The conclusions are mixed; some believe life begins at fertilization; others when a heartbeat can be detected and others view fetal viability as the real marker of independent life.
The other important point for me is protection of individual rights. How to manage a pregnancy should be a decision left to the mother, her significant other and her doctor. The state, the church, the local bowling league and anyone else has no right to tell them what to do or interfere in the appropriate medical care that flows from their decisions.
This is what both Supreme Courts want to and have done to not only women, but men, their families and doctors all across the country. Some of the laws have even involved other citizens either in the enforcement of restrictive laws or put them on notice that they will be punished if they help women or families or doctors in any way that violates their restrictive laws.
