In a concurring opinion in a Supreme Court case announced Monday, Justice Clarence Thomas issued a lengthy call for his colleagues to overturn “demonstrably erroneous decisions” even if they have been upheld for decades — prompting legal observers to say Thomas was laying the groundwork to overturn the seminal 1973 case Roe v. Wade, which established a constitutional right to abortion.
“When faced with a demonstrably erroneous precedent, my rule is simple: We should not follow it,” Thomas wrote, noting that lower federal courts should also disregard poor precedents. Thomas went on to add that precedent “may remain relevant when it is not demonstrably erroneous.”

“Enshrining a constitutional right to an abortion based solely on the race, sex, or disability of an unborn child, as Planned Parenthood advocates, would constitutionalize the views of the 20th Century eugenics movement,” Thomas wrote. “In other contexts, the Court has been zealous in vindicating the rights of people even potentially subjected to race, sex, and disability discrimination.” – Clarence Thomas
Justice Thomas has 12 pages on the eugenic and racist roots of Planned Parenthood and abortion in the recent SCOTUS Indiana decision. No rebuttal whatever from the left-wing justices. The progressive big lie is starting to fall apart! https://t.co/EHw2fKydMg

HELLLLLLSSS YEA.. Repeal that thing now.!
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness “. Which part of “life” do pro abortionists not understand.
Planned Parenthood is a “for profit” baby killing industry …and that speaks volumes.
HENCE why NO tax payer funds should EVER MAKE ITS way to them.
While liberals whine about illegal children currently held in cages as being inhumane, (yet they did not whine while a Democrat was their president), they still do not connect abortion with the taking of a human life (murder)…..
It’s very sad to think that liberals don’t understand that pregnancy is not something that should so easily be stopped, and one should be responsible for actions leading up to it, and using precautions or abstinence if they don’t want a child. Also this nonsense about waiting up until the moment of birth or afterwards? There is this thing called adoption that always works too!
YES, Khemist, adoption is the loving solution to an unplanned pregnancy or other situation where a child needs security and love.
Prime example: The virgin Mary was unmarried and pregnant but her fiance, Joseph, effectively adopted little Jesus as his own.
I encourage all who have room in the heart to adopt a child and love that child as your own. My grandparents did. My aunt and uncle did. Both of my brothers did. My wife and I did. A son-in-law did. What a blessed way to grow a family!!
He has a very good point in that a number of decisions blatantly defy any logic based on words in The Constitution. Legal wisdom at the time concluded that the ruling stretched the meaning of the words and that the case was not a settled issue. The dissenting justices came to the same conclusion. This is always the problem when judicial fiat supplants the legislative process!
Hence why it is about bloody time, it got REPEALED!
Abolish this travesty. Bring America closer to the word of God.
The only criteria to be used in determining if ANY State Law or Legislative Act is valid [i.e. Constitutional] MUST be: Did the Law or Act violate an expressed provision in The Constitution of The United States? If the Law or Act did not violate an expressed provision, it stands; regardless of any Federal Statue contrary.
Until we restore the 10th Amendment’s effectiveness regarding the rights of the Several States; we’ll never again be able to have Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness.
