Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said the landmark Roe v. Wade case that paved the way for legalized abortion in the US is “without a shred of support” from the Constitution.
In his stinging dissent, the conservative justice wrote that Roe v. Wade “created the right to abortion out of whole cloth, without a shred of support from the Constitution’s text.”
In the decision of Roe v. Wade in 1973, established the constitutionality of a woman’s right to have an abortion.
While the conservative Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberals on Monday in the name of court precedent, Thomas expressed that he is much more willing to take a closer look reversing the precedent of Roe.
This Court created the right to abortion based on an amorphous, unwritten right to privacy.”
