Justice Clarence Thomas Calls for Supreme Court to Reconsider Rulings for Contraceptives, LGBTQ Rights

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell," he said, referring to landmark cases that determined that married couples have a right to access contraceptives, that states could not outlaw consensual gay sex, and that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marriage.
40% : In his separate opinion, he acknowledged the decision does not directly affect any rights besides abortion, but argued that the constitution's Due Process Clause does not secure a right to an abortion or any other substantive rights, via The Hill.
23% : Justice Samuel Alito, however, stressed in the majority opinion that the reasoning only applied to abortion: "Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion," he wrote.
