Insult to Women and US Judicial System - 06/25/22 08:54 PM
The Ruling Overturning Roe is an Insult to Women and the Judicial System
Roe’s Death Will Change American Democracy
Of particular (and depressing/distressing) interest is the observation in the former reference:
“... the court is not going to stop at abortion. If you think that’s hyperbole, consider Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurring opinion in Dobbs [v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization], in which he called for the court to reconsider other constitutional rights that Americans have enjoyed, in some cases, for decades — including the right to use birth control, the right to marry the person of their choosing and the right of consenting adults to do as they please in the privacy of their bedrooms without being arrested and charged with crimes. These rights share a similar constitutional grounding to the now-former right to abortion, and Justice Thomas rejects that grounding, calling on the court to 'eliminate it ... at the earliest opportunity.'”
