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 courts 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."
Ginsburgs 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 Woods [who wrote the federal appeals court ruling from the 7th Circuit] alternative suggestion that regulating the disposition of an aborted childs body might impose an undue burden on the mothers right to abort that (already aborted) child.

Thomas is the greatest SCOTUS Justice EVER!
Well, there was Scalia... Make it a tie.
Then why do they use the term “life/ health of the Mother” whenever they try to water down any restrictions on Abortion?
RBG is evil personified.
Toss up, Bump!
Erick Erickson said, today on the radio here in Atlanta, that Chief Justice John Roberts told him to his face that he would rule Pro-life, only as the 7th vote and only AFTER Trump.
What kind of evil do we have as Chief Justice.
This quote seems to be somewhat ignored for what it says;
Instead, she adopts Chief Judge Woods [who wrote the federal appeals court ruling from the 7th Circuit] alternative suggestion that regulating the disposition of an aborted childs body might impose an undue burden on the mothers right to abort that (already aborted) child.
Justice Thomas is giving the baby PERSONHOOD status in this quote. I expect this quote will appear in numerous cases involving heartbeat bills. It also signals where he is on abortion.
It’s her law clerks, not her.
That would explain her posture.
