Justice Clarence Thomas just called for SCOTUS to reassess rights to same-sex marriage and contraception

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : On Friday morning, the Supreme Court issued its opinion overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey -- the two decades-old Supreme Court cases that together guaranteed abortion rights in America.
47% : When news of this was revealed in a leaked opinion in May, advocates made clear that if Roe were to be overturned, it could lead to the decimation of other Supreme Court cases that depend on the same legal principle: these include Griswold, which guaranteed marital couples the right to use contraception; Lawrence, which undid sodomy prohibitions in the US: and Obergefell, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
38% : The opinion, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, undoes the constitutional right to abortion and returns the right to regulate the procedure to individual states.
38% : But we have stated unequivocally that '[n]othing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.'
34% : The decision will likely lead to the criminalization of abortion, at all stages of pregnancy, in about half of the United States.
