The present case does not involve minors. It does not involve persons who might be injured or coerced or who are situated in relationships where consent might not easily be refused. It does not involve public conduct or prostitution. It does not involve whether the government must give formal recognition to any relationship that homosexual persons seek to enter.

Yes, but just like Roe, it will be expanded to allow those behaviors.

Quite likely. Didn't Roe originally only allow unrestricted abortion in the first trimester, allow regulation in the second trimester, and allow prohibition in the third trimester? Or was that an earlier case?

Actually given the scientific understanding of the day, that wasn't such a bad decision, but the understanding has changed in the direction of "life begins earlier", while the court decisions, and the laws themselves, have gone in the direction of "abortion on demand" anytime up to time the last portion of the living child leaves the birth canal.
