Clarence Thomas just now:
"Given the potential for abortion to become a tool of
eugenic manipulation, the Court will soon need to confront
the constitutionality of laws like Indiana’s."

CT: "This case highlights the fact that abortion is an act rife

Note that Justice Kagan (and Breyer) apparently join the Court in upholding the IN fetal remains law. 7-2 (Ginsburg and Sotomayor). supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Also note that despite about 12 pages of Justice Thomas on Margaret Sanger and the racist/eugenicist roots of abortion, Justice Ginsburg does not respond to these points at all in her separate opinion.
