'This law and other laws like it promote a State’s compelling interest in preventing abortion from becoming a tool of modern-day eugenics.'
Supreme Court Clarence Thomas offered a blistering rebuke of a decision issued on Tuesday, writing that the Indiana law being considered prevented abortion from being used for eugenics.
Clarence Thomas disagreed with the court's unsigned opinion, penning a fiery 20-page response to the court's decision. Despite his invocation of eugenics, Thomas agreed that the court should not yet review the case because he thought"further percolation may assist our review of this issue."
