Libertarians obviously delude themselves into believing that courts confer rights. Up to 3 months and you're an oppressive blob worthy of a trash bin. 3 months and a minute and presto-chango! You have full rights! [sheesh]

Thomas is FOR individual rights. A first trimester pregant woman is still quite definitely an individual. - Her fetus, at that point, is not.

- No, -- but obviously, - you've deluded YOURself into thinking I've said that.

Sheesh indeed. - Your delusions overcome your ability to read. -- The USSC said that full rights come with viability.

So I see some fool, actually tried to imply, that Justice Clarence Thomas, never voted to overturn Roe v.Wade. A huge historical distortion of the facts.

In the 1992 case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Four justices, Rehnquist, White, Scalia, and Thomas, voted to overturn Roe saying it was wrongly decided.
In his opinion, Justice Blackmun warned, "I fear for the darkness as four justices await the single vote necessary to extinguish the light… I cannot stay on this Court forever."

From a short bio on Justice Thomas:

Justice Thomas joins Justice Scalia and Chief Justice Rehnquist as the minority of the Court that opposes Roe v. Wade.

Nuff said.

I posted, at #101:

You don't have a clue as to the court.
Thomas is FOR individual rights. A first trimester pregant woman is still quite definitely an individual. - Her fetus, at that point, is not
