Justice Thomas: Supreme Court Should Reconsider
Rulings on Same-Sex Marriage, Contraception

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 6/24/2022 4:48:08 PM

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote Friday that the high court should reconsider rulings on contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage in a solo concurring opinion released Friday that struck down Roe v. Wade. The Republican-appointed justice argued that the Supreme Court should reconsider other cases that fall under prior due process precedents. “I write separately to emphasize a second, more fundamental reason why there is no abortion guarantee lurking in the Due Process Clause,” Thomas wrote. “Considerable historical evidence indicates that ‘due process of law’ merely required executive and judicial actors to comply with legislative enactments and the common law when depriving a person of life, liberty, or property.”

Justice Thomas is like most of US today; he is a happy man. Abortion on demand is a huge stain and strain on America. Today that stain has been lifted. Even though it doesn't mean that American women won't continue to get abortions, it does mean a loss of power for the left. One of their pagan altars has been torn down. Trust, they will not be happy with free and clear abortions in their liberal states; they will try to keep the rest of US in the line of destruction with them. I'm with Justice Thomas; let's not stop here. Conservative states need to push hard against any violence that comes from this ruling. The January 6 travesty going on now should have that unintended effect; everyone should look askance at the left's criminal tantrums and boldly call them what they are. They should be punished and punished hard. They've had their way for 50 years, and they need to get over it and take this L with more to come, I pray God.

Mixed feelings about this, particularly contraception, which really does seem like a private matter. However, requiring religious or other objectors to provide contraception is not a private matter. Same with gay marriage: I think these folks should be allowed to live together as ordinary couples do if they're not bothering anybody else. Too many of them, however, see the issue as a weapon with which to sue and otherwise bother those who do not approve, and leftist legislators are only too happy to give those cudgels the force of law. What people do in private is their business, but if they force me to approve, even celebrate, things of which I do not approve, they make it my business.

How about we make same sex marriage mandatory. We wouldn't need Roe or Wade.

#4 I agree. The gay community has gone far beyond asking the rest of America to accept them. Now they want us tp participate in their lifestyle or they will destroy you. For example, the wedding cake baker in Colorado, who refused to bake their homosexual wedding cake and was sued by them and the State of Colorado's Diversity Dept. and this little family business lost their license until the U.S. Supreme Court stepped in and stopped this First Amendment Assault! This is not live and let live LGBTG community. This is a religion and if you don't bend the knee, they will destroy you!!!!

You should be allowed to legally unite if you love each other however the word “ marriage “ is meant to describe a union between a man and a woman. Maybe people of the same sex could describe it as melding or any word that is not the word marriage.

What Justice Thomas is commenting on is the improper use of the legal premises and precedent of Roe. If, as the justices have ruled, Roe was based on an improper reading of the law and that the arguments made in the original Roe decision are wrong, then every decision that relied on that legal strategy is also on shaky ground. The left will shout that this is a revolutionary power grab by the court but it is not. THink of it this way. When the 16th amendment was passed and men could no longer be considered property a lot of supreme court rulings based on the argument tat slaves were property were rendered moot. Had any of those issues ended up in the court there would be no choice but to overturn those rulings. Pretty simple and it happens all time. As to those two particular handpicked issues for the perpetually outraged left I am guessing a pretty si,ple bill in congress that addressed them would preserve the status quo with fairly wide bipartisan support. It is an interesting observation of legal minutiea interesting but not earth shattering.

The relevant part of the 5th Amendment: "No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" I terms of using the Due Process Clause to manufacture a "Constitutional Right" to anything and everything, I am all for this review. The absolute abuse by Progressive Liberal lawyers and jurists of the true meaning of this Amendment has caused untold harm.

Gay used to mean happy, carefree, then it was redefined. A little corruption of the language, but no big deal. Gay marriage is a strong-arm measure to force society/culture to accept LGBTQ etc. as 'normal.' It can not be questioned according to many. The problem is, society/culture/country has a fundamental interest in supporting the family, which are the usual byproduct of a committed marriage. It would be nice to challenge the absurd insanity of gender 'choice,' and to call a wife/wife or husband/husband arrangement what it actually is, a civil union, but activists and really crazy people insist on pretending men in dresses are women, so we all give another inch, instead of insisting on common sense.

In 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion under the auspices of the “right of privacy,” which it held to “encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” While we do have rights that are guaranteed to us despite not being in the Constitution (those natural rights), abortion was never one of them. Not until Roe, at least. It is estimated that more than 63 million babies have been aborted since Roe. That’s more than the combined population of Florida and California. Most recently CDC numbers show nearly 630,000 abortions in 2019 – meaning 195 abortions per 1,000 live births. Abortion has never been a rare procedure since legalization,

Doctors and scientists are seeing an increase in the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, known as varicella-zoster virus (VZV), following the COVID-19 injections. The chickenpox virus is one of the eight herpes viruses known to infect humans. After a person contracts and recovers from chickenpox, the virus never leaves the body but lies dormant in the nervous system for life. The chickenpox virus will show up as shingles, or herpes zoster (HZ) when it gets reactivated. Federal health authorities claim that there’s no correlation between COVID-19 injections and shingles, but studies show that there is a higher incidence of shingles in people who’ve received the vaccine.Israel was one of the earlier countries
