The conservative Supreme Court justice made the remarks in a concurring opinion after the court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday.

As the Supreme Court in a momentous ruling Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that guaranteed the right to abortion nationwide, Justice Clarence Thomas issued a concurring opinion arguing the court should revisit decisions regarding LGBTQ rights and contraception too.

But the majority opinion in Friday’s 5-4 ruling, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, argued that “rights regarding contraception and same-sex relationships are inherently different from the right to abortion,” because abortion involves “potential life.” In saying those cases should be reconsidered, Thomas wrote that “after overruling these demonstrably erroneous decisions, the question would remain whether other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated.”

You basically are ignorant. Shame on you,you might be putting your effort to help struggling black neighborhoods.

It is women's fault for having no abortion right. '55 Percent of white women voted for Trump.' Women voted for Trump/Republican because women love their racist sexist men. They reap what they sow. If women don’t like what you reap, they better vote for Dem

Clarence Thomas should be investigated (w Ginny).

All these nonsense. No marriage for gays, cohabitation instead, who care? No offsprings. Using the term, marriage is misleading😅😜

lets do it.

This guy need to be

It’s important to remember that he did not write the majority opinion and is far removed from the court’s position on substantive due process

Even the Taliban taking over Afghanistan didn't move this fast like the American Taliban on their own people.

Insane world

Clarence Thomas is the best!

How is he still allowed to be a justice?

A big Fuck You to the Libs for investigating his wife who is trying to overthrow the government. This is some Russian shit, own every judge and Stack the SCOTUS to get your laws passed.

Hell yeah do it!!!! This will wake the people up and never elect a Republican again.

I mean we are talking about taking away rights and questioning prescient right?
