On Thursday, in a concurring opinion he wrote agreeing with the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Jones v. Mississippi, Justice Clarence Thomas <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/18-1259_8njq.pdf">smacked leftist justices on the Court</a> for their hypocrisy when it came to the maturity of minors. Thomas pointed out that some language in Court decisions assumed that when referring to juvenile murderers, members of the Court had cited that “children are different” and that courts must consider “a child’s lesser culpability,&#8221; yet when discussing abortion by girls of minor age, leftist justices had assumed they were mature enough to make that decision.
Thomas wrote, “When addressing juvenile murderers, this Court has stated that ‘children are different’ and that courts must consider ‘a child’s lesser culpability.’” (Thomas was referring to Montgomery v. Louisiana.) “And yet, when assessing the Court-created right of an individual of the same age to seek an abortion, Members of this Court take pains to emphasize a ‘young woman’s’ right to choose.” (Thomas referred to Lambert v. Wicklund, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa.v. Casey, and Ohio v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health.)
