Moore beat the incumbent Republican, Sen. Luther Strange, in the primary and is now facing Democrat Doug Jones. Strange, Alabama's former Attorney General and a well-known figure in Alabama conservative politics, had been appointed by former Gov. Robert Bentley. Strange is also pro-life.

The special election between Moore and Jones will be on December 12. December 12 is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a day with special significance to many pro-life activists.

Moore has been elected Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court twice. In 2003, he was removed after refusing to take down a 10 Commandments monument. He was re-elected in 2012 and then suspended in 2016 for refusing to legitimize same-sex "marriage."
