Thomas is the best! I hope he throws this whole thing out or decides not to make a ruling on it for a few more weeks!

Thomas thought about it some more and agreed with the rest of the justices to reinstate the lower court's ruling:

The Supreme Court (search) cleared the way Monday for a Missouri prison inmate to terminate her pregnancy.

Although the high court made no sweeping rendering on the constitutionality of the Roe v. Wade (search) ruling ensuring a woman's constitutional right to an abortion, it effectively enforced a lower court ruling that Missouri Department of Corrections must provide transportation for the woman to have the procedure by refusing to hear an appeal. It was unclear how soon the abortion would be carried out.

Late Friday, Justice Clarence Thomas (search) had granted a temporary stay to the state, which prevented the woman from having an abortion on Saturday. But Monday's high court action was unanimous.
