Abortion rights supporters Courage Universe, left, and Nikki Enfield embrace outside the Supreme Court after it issued a ruling that overturns Roe v. Wade on June 24. The Supreme Court’s ruling overturning a constitutional right to abortion sent fear through the LGBTQ community Friday, after the release of the decision set out potential targets: Supreme Court cases legalizing same-sex intimacy and marriage. Justice Clarence Thomas, agreeing with the majority that states could ban abortion, called on the Supreme Court to reexamine cases allowing both LGBTQ rights as well as the right to contraception. “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence and Obergefell,” Thomas said in his concurring opinion. “We have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents.”
