Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Pregnant Woman Is Not a ‘Mother'

[Breitbart] Celebrated liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg argued in an opinion released Tuesday that a pregnant woman is not a "mother."

"[A] woman who exercises her constitutionally protected right to terminate a pregnancy is not a ’mother’," Ginsburg wrote in a footnote, which in turn responded to another footnote in the 20-page concurring opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas in the Box v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky Inc. case.

As Breitbart News’ legal editor Ken Klukowski reported, the case concerned a law signed by then-Governor (now Vice President) Mike Pence of Indiana in 2016, which required that the remains of an aborted fetus (or baby) be disposed of by cremation or burial. The law also prohibited abortion on the basis of sex, race, or disability alone.

The Court upheld the first part of the law, but declined to consider the selective-abortion ban until more appellate courts had ruled on it.

In his lengthy opinion ‐ which delighted pro-life advocates, and distressed pro-choice activists ‐ Thomas wrote that "this law and other laws like it promote a State’s compelling interest in preventing abortion from becoming a tool of modern-day eugenics." He traced the racist and eugenicist beliefs of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, and warned that the Court would one day need to wrestle with abortion as form of racial discrimination.

#1 Rather defies the logic of DNA testing and results, not to mention common sense. Perhaps she intended to say "no longer a mother".

#2 RBG is an activist justice who's opinions strain legal credulity. She takes the tack that "I don't need no stinking law" to support my opinions.

#5 What a pregnant woman is, is "with child." It's an old-timey saying, but you get the idea...

#7 more interestingly to me was that RBG said that requiring burial and/or cremation of aborted fetuses would put an undue burden on women

since the abortion would have already taken place, I can't see how a burden then appears retroactively but then again I'm not a Supreme court justice
