Opinion: SCOTUS's Abortion Decision Reminds Me to Enjoy LGBTQ Rights While I Still Can

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : "He made a distinction between same-sex marriage and contraception, which I think will win the day over time."
46% : It was only in 2020 when Thomas, in an opinion joined by Alito, wrote, "By choosing to privilege a novel constitutional right over the religious liberty interests explicitly protected in the First Amendment, and by doing so undemocratically, the court has created a problem that only it can fix."
46% : As for marriage equality, other oppressive opportunists include Utah Senate President Stuart Adams, who said during a news conference last week that he would support the Supreme Court revisiting its same-sex marriage ruling.
39% : One informs the other, so if the right spent decades plotting and scheming to overturn Roe v. Wade and outlaw abortion, it should be assumed that other rights -- particularly any and all related to the LGBTQ community -- will be next.
37% : The justices issued their opinion in a case concerning Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who infamously was sued for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
36% : Thomas also referenced Griswold v. Connecticut, which established the right of married couples to use contraception without government interference.
33% : Yes, Alito wrote that "nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion 'because the exercise of rights established by other rulings' does not destroy a 'potential life,'" but his past opinions on marriage equality suggest a disdain that won't be contained for much longer now that the numbers are in the right's favor.
31% : Among them include South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who argued in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" that Justice Samuel Alito, author of the majority opinion, "set the right tone" by writing that the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court doesn't mean decisions protecting contraception and same-sex marriage are in jeopardy.
30% : In a separate concurring opinion, Thomas questioned a number of the court's past rulings including Obergefell v. Hodges, which established marriage equality after giving same-sex couples the right to marry nationwide, and Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned a 1973 Texas law criminalizing the act of sodomy.
