00:00Samuel L. Jackson took to social media calling out Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
00:08In a solo concurring opinion following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Friday to strike down the 1973 case that legalized abortion nationwide,
00:17Thomas wrote that the same argument used to overturn the right to abortion could be used to overturn decisions granting rights to contraception and same-sex marriage.
00:26Notably, Thomas' opinion did not mention the possibility of losing the right to interracial marriage, protected by the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia.
00:37In his tweet, Jackson included a reference to Thomas' own interracial marriage to wife Ginny Thomas, whom he wed in 1987.
