Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "It was written for them and their needs and their desires," she said, and the needs of LGBTQ+ people and people of color are simply "not in there."Should Roe be overturned because the right to abortion is not "deeply rooted" in the country's history, Ellis said there's little reason to believe the Supreme Court would not seek to overturn its landmark ruling in Obergefell.
42% : After a draft Supreme Court opinion seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade, which has protected the constitutional right to abortion for nearly five decades, was leaked this week, activists said they began to worry that other landmark rulings - on which modern LGBTQ+ rights hinge - may be targeted next.
39% : Protections stemming from cases like Lawrence v. Texas, which invalidated discriminatory sodomy laws, and Obergefell v. Hobbs, which legalized same-sex marriage in the U.S., will not immediately disappear with the overturning of Roe, but they may be weakened.
38% : Should it become the majority ruling, Roe would be overturned at a time when at least 26 states are poised to quickly enact bans on abortion, leaving millions of women and others of reproductive age without abortion access.
35% : "The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation's history and traditions," Alito writes in the opinion for a case challenging a Mississippi law that outlaws virtually all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
19% : In 2020, Alito himself, along with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, criticized the court's ruling in Obergefell, writing that the decision has had "ruinous consequences for religious liberty."
