“Given the potential for abortion to become a tool of eugenic manipulation, the Court will soon need to confront the constitutionality of laws like Indiana’s,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his opinion.
State abortion laws might have an easier path to the Supreme Court after Justice Clarence Thomas said on Tuesday that rulings on the constitutionality of such legislation is needed “soon.”
While Thomas agreed with the court’s decision, he wrote in a concurring opinion that the bench will have to start ruling on abortion-related cases in the near future. The comment comes amid a flurry of strict anti-abortion measures passed in conservative states, many of which already face legal challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood.

Alabama’s law followed on the heels of Georgia’s “heartbeat” bill, which was signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp. The law bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into pregnancy — before many women are even aware they are pregnant.
