Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : The Biden administration and civil rights advocates had warned that if conservative justices overturned the 1973 landmark Roe decision that established the right to abortion, they could soon curtail other freedoms as well.
40% : The Supreme Court "should reconsider" rulings that rely on the same legal reasoning as Roe vs. Wade, including ones that protect gay sex, same-sex marriage and married people's use of contraception, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in an opinion released Friday.
22% : In his concurring opinion in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe vs. Wade, enabling states to ban abortion, Thomas wrote that the high court has a "duty to 'correct the error" established in Obergefell vs. Hodges (2015), which legalized same-sex marriage, Lawrence vs. Texas (2003), which protects same-sex relations, and Griswold vs. Connecticut (1965), which protects married couples' access to contraception.
