Roe was a tragic mistake, taking from the American people & their elected representatives a deeply moral question. The Supreme Court has finally corrected this mistake & I highly commend the millions of Americans who toiled for years to achieve this great victory for unborn life.

Tom Cotton neglects to mention the decision runs counter to the opinion of the majority of American people and strips medical rights from millions of American women.
I await his concurrence with Justice Clarence Thomas on other deeply moral questions.

Thomas wrote a concurring opinion today in which he said the same reasoning used to end a right to an abortion could be used to overturn cases establishing rights to contraception, same-sex consensual relations and same-sex marriage.
Alito said the case was only about abortion and Thomas agreed. But three of the signers said recently they believed in precedent, so trust these preening jackasses at your peril.

Thomas also didn’t mention Loving, which legalized in Virginia another deeply moral question — Thomas’ subsequent marriage to a white woman, insurrectionist Ginni.
An originalist could find plenty of support for treating Black people poorly in the Constitution. Originalism is just a shield for activists intent on imposing their ideology on others. Under Roe, if you didn’t want an abortion, nobody could make you get one. In Cotton/Thomas America, nobody could have one.
