Racist .SCOTUS Justices Are Ultraconservatives or Reactionaries -- not "Liberals"

The SCOTUS Justices who ended segregation qualify as liberals.  Justices who   require that states  allow continued operation of Jane Crow health facilities don't  qualify as liberals. .   A  Jane Crow facility provides health care to black women but doesn't have to meet the same high standards as facilities that treat white men. 

The 14th Amendment requires states to  guarantee  "the equal protection of the laws."  Unfortunately  ultraconservative Supreme Court justices such as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg don’t believe states should be allowed to protect women from unsafely operated abortion clinics.  

Y
es, I said "ultraconservative"I know people  such as Ginsburg  like to   call themselves "liberals", but their attitude to abortion regulations is closer to "ultraconservative"  than to "liberal". During the lascentury "liberals" have attempted to enact regulations to protect individuals from unsafe, unfair, etc. business practices"Ultraconservatives"  have attempted to  prevent   such  regulations or ask  the  Supreme Court to  overturn  them.

The ultraconservatives who oppose abortion regulations are like the ultraconservatives who opposed regulations to protect employees from unsafe working conditions a century ago.   The probusiness ultraconservative justices  oppose any attempt to regulate abortions like probusiness ultraconservative justices  a century ago opposed any attempt to regulate working  conditions.

Racist Justices qualify as reactionaries because they  returned to the 19th Century business policy of caveat emptor "Let the buyer beware" for abortions.

Racist Justices like abortions because  abortions limit   the   growth of   the black population:  Racist Justices oppose regulations  that would reduc the black baby body count.  The deaths of women from abortions  reduces what  the racist Justices regard as the  surplus  black population
