One more thing to add the above comment. The ruling in Loving v Virginia, which is what allows interracial marriages like Thomas' to exist in Virginia in the first place, is also based on substantive due process (which is what underlies the privacy right in all these cases).

Quite conveniently, Loving v Virginia was not one of the rulings that Thomas argued needed revisiting.

Loving v Virginia is based both on due process and equal protection. He's not necessarily a hypocrite to be against Loving but not Roe.

But he did call out Obergefell, which is also based on equal protection, so he is very much a hypocrite for calling out that but not Loving.
