(90,662 posts)..under the guise of privacy. Interracial marriage, gay marriage, gays in the military, being trans, supporting your trans child, contraception by various means, and abortion. And lets not forget IVF. If a fertilized egg is sacred and its death is a crime, well it follows that the unsuccessful implantation of a fertilized egg is an act of murder, as is disposing of the leftover eggs.
What we are facing in 2022 is a SCOTUS majority that by starting with abortion will ultimately knock down the legal underpinnings of all these other rights and freedoms.
Several weeks ago I saw Jonathon Capeharts comments on Alitos draft. He thought it was only about women until a friend detailed the above to him. Suddenly, he said, he was terrified for himself and his family, his husband and their baby.

(56,582 posts)Remember Bob Jones University and their ban on interracial dating? That came from the college giving in to the demands of some wealthy East Asian parents (the faculty had never cared before that). It was only in the 1990s that even a majority of the country approved of interracial marriage.

(22,363 posts)but I bet they'd find other ways to restrict marriage
Require proof of citizenship?
Throw in some implicit religious conditions (not obvious enough to trigger 1st amendment concerns)?
Automatically dissolve a marriage if there are no children produced after a certain number of years?

(54,369 posts)I was in a double wedding with my brother near Washington, DC.
Of the four of us, there were citizens of three different countries and two different races represented, and the reception resembled the UN general assembly. Todays Republicans probably would have picketed the event with gun-carrying protesters screaming about Gods plan. Among us were a retired Catholic, a Shinto Buddhist and two atheists. The shouting would have been met with benign neglect.

(15,411 posts)If Loving goes, what happens to abortions? VA was refusing to recognize another jurisdictions lawful marriage. In many ways, that is why/how gay marriage was legalized. Once Hawaii legalized it, did all other state have to recognize a marriage from Hawaii? It's the "full faith and credit clause" of the constitution. Each state has to give full faith and credits to acts of another state.
From a legal standpoint, this is a real stumbling block for "hard" cases like this. The Supreme Court had to rule on that constitution provision in both Loving and Obergefell. And it will happen with abortion too.
He didn't misunderstand the question, someone just reminded him of the facts in Loving. If you follow states' rights thinking, how do you allow one state to jail a couple that was legally married in another state (jurisdiction)?
