The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg blasted Justice Clarence Thomas and threatened him after the Supreme Court’s historic ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
“He better hope that… because we were not in the Constitution either. We were not even people in the Constitution. Well, you better hope that they don’t come for you, Clarence, and say that you should not be married to your wife, who happens to be White, because they will move that.” Goldberg said, threatening Justice Tomas.
“And you better hope that nobody says, you know, ‘Well, you’re not in the Constitution. You’re back to being a quarter of a person’ because that’s not going to work either,” Goldberg added.
On June 24, the US Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, removing the constitutional right of the Americans to abortion.
The ruling will also likely render the procedure “largely illegal in half the country.”
As a result, the decision has divided the country with thousands of pro-choice activists gathering outside the court and destroying properties of medical practitioners, clinics and churces’ supporting anti-abortion campaign.
Following the shocking decision, ABC daytime program female hosts blasted the Supreme Court’s decision.
“I want to make things very clear – I’m very pro-life. I’ve never been anti-life. I want people to have the lives they want but I don’t want to force anybody – I don’t want anybody coming in my house telling me how to raise my daughter and what she needs because they don’t know,” Goldberg stated on Monday.
Goldberg also slammed the pro-life activists who use religions as basis and claimed that she “appreciates” everyone’s religion but “I don’t subscribe to your religion” and “I don’t ask you to subscribe to mine.”

The co-host also scolded the justice, arguing that “you do not have the right based on your religious beliefs to tell me – because what’s next? 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!”
Moreover, while Goldberg and her co-host were broadcasting from Bahamas, she alluded to Thomas’ concurring opinion, in which he wrote the Supreme Court “should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell” about the previous privacy rulings on things like same-sex marriage and contraception.
Last week, Justice Samuel Alito made it clear that the
Roe v. Wade reversal “would not affect any other rights since the issue of abortion specifically involves a third party.”
