Abortion and eugenics

In the Supreme Court’s May 28 decision in Box v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, the Court declined to review an Indiana law prohibiting abortions on the basis of race, sex, or disability. Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurring opinion describes the connections between abortion advocacy and eugenics, and the ways in which abortion is a tool of modern-day eugenicists. [1]
