Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says justices should now consider overturning gay marriage and access to CONTRACEPTION after Roe v. Wade was axed
UK Daily Mail ^ | 6/24/2022 | Alex Hammer

The 74-year-old justice, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, went on to declare the court should reconsider other cases that fall under previous due process precedents.

Thomas' argument was entrenched in the belief that since the Constitution’s Due Process Clause was found not to secure a right to an abortion in Friday's ruling, the court should apply that same logic to other landmark cases.

He cited three in particular - including 1965's Griswold v. Connecticut, which allowed for married couples to buy and use contraception, and 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges, which allowed same-sex couples to legally marry.

Beauty.

I can almost feel the pressure building.

Should be an interesting summer.

ANTIFA and the various pro-abort groups promised to burn down Washington DC. I hope they don’t disappoint.

I doubt they will follow through - I am sure their FBI handlers have them on a very tight leash.

I believe married couples should have access to contraception, but that’s not in the federal government’s purview.

Keep the pressure up, Justice Thomas, and when they expire from the pressure dance on their graves

I think Thomas believes the federal government shouldn’t be forcing the states to accept/require anything... the decisions should be up to each state.

Just a fake headline. His point is probably that these aren’t purview of the federal government.

The SCOTUS rulings were based on similar grounds to ROE. They were ungrounded in the Constitution and should revert to the states.

Alito’s original draft provided a basis for overturning many other decisions - but it was revised, I’m sure to get Roberts on board, to state that this decision was about abortion ONLY, and laid out the framework for why it wouldn’t be precedent for those other cases.

If it had gone 5-4 with Roberts a bitter dissenter, we would not be in as good a place as we are with a 6-3 decision.

The foundation for that particular decision is probably faulty in the same way the foundation for the Roe v Wade decision is faulty.

Nobody anywhere is going to be denied contraception.

It's a yellow journalism story. Thomas didn't call out those issues by name.

What Thomas said was:

"...in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell."

With the decision today, and the future Supreme Court decisions on marriage and contraception outlined by Justice Thomas, the Republican Party is headed for a permeant majority in Washington DC and across the country.
