Whoopi goes scorched earth on Justice Thomas: ‘You better hope that they don’t come for you, Clarence’

An odd occurrence resulting from the Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade — in effect, correcting the judicial activism that took place 50 years ago to erroneously establish abortion as a constitutional right — is that black liberals continue to single out Justice Clarence Thomas, the lone black jurist among the majority of six who voted to send the issue back to the states.

One of the more popular figures attacking Thomas was Whoopi Goldberg of “The View,” who warned Thomas that “they” may be coming for him next as a black man — liberal actor Samuel Jackson went a step further and effectively called Thomas an Uncle Tom.

Goldberg offered a scorching take during the Hot Topics segment of the ABC show, perverting the term “pro-life” while misrepresenting the court’s decision as being based on “religious beliefs” — it was not.

“I’m very pro-life,” Goldberg said. “I’ve never been anti-life — I want people to have the lives they want, I don’t want to force anybody coming in my house telling me how to raise my daughter and what she needs because they don’t know, and I appreciate everybody’s religion. But, I do not subscribe to your religion, and I don’t ask you to subscribe to mine.

“What’s next?” she added. “As Clarence Thomas is signaling, they would like to get rid of contraception. Do you understand, sir? No, because you don’t have to use it!”

“Well, you better hope that they don’t come for you, Clarence, and say you should not be married to your wife — who happens to be white, because they will move that, and you better hope that nobody says ‘you know you’re not in the constitution you’re back to being a quarter of a person.’”

Joy Behar chimed in, “We are back in the ‘50s.”

But then, unhinged fearmongering is about all the left has to counter the court’s decision because there really isn’t much of a legal argument against the ruling, aside from the well-worn talking point that Roe was a “well established legal standard” — 50 years of the country’s 245 years in existence.

Goldberg’s remarks are in reference to the concurring opinion Thomas alone offered, suggesting that the Supreme Court should also consider other landmark decisions that involve the right to contraceptive access and same-sex marriage.

“For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” Thomas wrote, these being the cases that established such rights.

Speaking of Behar, she whined about America being a “theocracy” over a ruling that put the decision of killing an unborn baby back on individual states:

Of course, that’s better than the despicable take offered by the left’s favorite Republican, Ana Navarro, who put up a passionate argument that for some it’s a better option to abort special needs babies rather than be troubled to care for them:

Here are a few responses to Whoopi’s “sober analysis” from Twitter:
