(42,694 posts)11. I think its pretty unlikely that any legislature will ban interracial marriage
And the Alito opinion goes out of its way to say that it is limited to abortion and to distinguish abortion cases from cases involving other privacy-based rulings.
Can I say definitively that no state will pass a ban on interracial marriage -- no. But I think the likelihood of that is pretty remote and that focusing on the immediate impact of this decision matters more than speculation about something that is probably not all that likely (and therefore the risk of which is not all that likely to convince people to take a different position on abortion than they already take).

With gerrymandering and voter suppression, there are certainly states where it would happen.
