Justice Clarence Thomas Likens Some Abortions to Eugenics in 20-Page Supreme Court Opinion

The Supreme Court confronted a restrictive Indiana abortion law on Tuesday by upholding one portion of it and punting another.

The portion it upheld, which was previously barred by the the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, requires fetal remains be buried or cremated. "This Court has already acknowledged that a State has a 'legitimate interest in proper disposal of fetal remains,'" it wrote in an unsigned ruling, citing a 1983 case.
