Harris v. West Alabama Women's Center

Summary

Justice Thomas, in a concurring opinion, notes that the petition for a writ of certiorari is denied and argues that the Court’s undue‑burden standard is an “aberration of constitutional law” that improperly invalidates Alabama’s law prohibiting the dismemberment of a living unborn child. He contends that the Constitution does not forbid states from banning such gruesome abortion methods and warns that the Court’s abortion jurisprudence has become untenable.
