WRIT DENIED. NO OPINION.
I concur in denying the writ because the petition does not establish a ground for certiorari review under the procedural requirements of Rule 39, Ala. R. App. P. However, I agree with the following view expressed in Judge McCools special concurrence in the Court of Criminal Appeals:
“[T]he present case does not in any way involve any of the current legal precedent concerning abortion. If it did, I would agree with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Mitchells special writing in Magers v. Alabama Womens Center Reproductive Alternatives, LLC, 325 So. 3d 788, 791 (Ala. 2020), in which Justice Mitchell points out the constitutional deficiencies of Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 [93 S.Ct. 705, 35 L.Ed.2d 147] (1973), and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 [112 S.Ct. 2791, 120 L.Ed.2d 674] (1992), and urges the United States Supreme Court to overrule those ‘highly regrettable decisions’ at the earliest opportunity. 325 So. 3d at 793.”
Church v. City of Huntsville, [Ms. CR-20-0258, Sept. 3, 2021] ––– So. 3d ––––, ––––, 2021 WL 4025583 (Ala. Crim. App. 2021) (McCool, J., concurring specially). As I have similarly urged before, see Hicks v. State, 153 So. 3d 53, 72-84 (Ala. 2014) (Parker, J., concurring specially); Ex parte Phillips, 287 So. 3d 1179, 1244-54 (Ala. 2018) (Parker, J., concurring specially), and as I did in joining Justice Mitchells special concurrence in Magers, I continue to call upon the United States Supreme Court to overrule Roe and Casey.
SELLERS, Justice.
Bolin, Wise, and Stewart, JJ., concur.
Parker, C.J., concurs specially.
