Justices Ginsburg, Thomas trade barbs in Supreme Court ruling on state abortion matter
Fox News ^ | May 28, 2019 | Andrew O'Reilly

Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Clarence Thomas had two very different opinions when it came to a ruling on Tuesday that effectively upheld an Indiana law on disposal of fetal remains.

The court’s ruling allowed Indiana to enforce a requirement that abortion clinics either bury or cremate fetal remains following an abortion. The justices said in an unsigned opinion that the case does not involve limits on abortion rights. Ginsburg was one of two liberal-leaning justices who dissented.

Ginsburg said in a short solo opinion that she believes the issue does impact a woman's right to have an abortion "without undue interference from the state."

Ginsburg’s dissent was not met well by Thomas, who said that it “makes little sense” and “lacks evidentiary support.”

“Justice Ginsburg does not even attempt to argue that the decision below was correct,” Thomas said in his opinion. “Instead, she adopts Chief Judge Wood’s [who wrote the federal appeals court ruling from the 7th Circuit] alternative suggestion that regulating the disposition of an aborted child’s body might impose an “undue burden” on the mother’s right to abort that (already aborted) child.”

Ginsburg was one of two liberal-leaning justices who dissented.

Huge understatement...If RBG leaned any further left her entire left side would be flat on the floor.

Well, this should at least put the rumors of RBG’s death aside for a while....

Unless it is an impersonator.

I guess it could be an impersonator, and RBG long ago became worm food.

When Ginsburg dies, maybe her children will toss her remains in a dumpster. Obviously, in her opinion, the state has no right to interfere with them doing so...

If it was a pet cat or dog being cremated or buried, many of the pro-abort types wouldn’t object to this type of law. Heaven forbid, a human “fetus” would be afforded such respect...

Requiring fetal remains to be cremated or buried prevents Planned Parenthood from selling them to a stem-cell lab for huge profits.

RBG opposes anything that gets in the way of the PP agenda.

Ginsburg’s barbs don’t have much behind them.

Actually, it's more like requiring fetal remains to be disposed of in the same way as deceased people reinforces the idea that the baby is a person.

She wants it disposed like it's an amputated leg or other diseased tissue.

She’s only 86 years post natal, should still be within the window to abort her.

“regulating the disposition of an aborted child’s body might impose an “undue burden” on the mother’s right to abort”

What they are really worried about is that without the ability to sell dead baby parts or get federal funding, Planned Parenthood might not have a profitable business model.

There should be a law. Show your face or forfeit your seat.

Ruthie desperately needs to be retired.
After which, we need to put some sort of limit on the court term of office...
not sure quite what would work best? but letting someone like Ruth keep haunting the court year after year after year ....growing more and more senile or just plain crazy...

we definitely need to devise a system, method whereby judicial appointees don’t wind up embarrassing themselves (and screwing up their work duties) so much
