Supreme Court Chips Away at Abortion, This Time With Clarence Thomas Ranting About ‘Eugenics’
In a surprise move, the Supreme Court issued a split decision on an abortion case Tuesday, allowing Indiana to require medical facilities to cremate or bury fetal remains, but striking down a ban on abortions performed because of the sex, race, or disability of the fetus.
The decision was surprising because the case, Box v. Planned Parenthood, was only up for review by the Court. Instead of taking the case for review, however, the Court issued its final ruling.
Because of that, the ruling was a short, unsigned, and mostly unanimous opinion that confined itself to the legal questions at hand.
