Gay Marriage Is Next Up on the SCOTUS Chopping Block

snip

If the reasoning of the draft becomes the majority opinion—and it is worth stressing that this is by no means assured, since it is a draft and may well be watered down by other justices—then it applies equally to Obergefell v. Hodges, which held that all marriages (including my same-sex one) are protected by the Constitution; to Lawrence v. Texas, which held that all intimate sexual activity (including same-sex) was too; and to Griswold v. Connecticut, which held that the right to access contraception is as well.

They will not touch Birth control in the near future since they know by banning it women would vote the GOP out of office. If every women on birth control was not allowed to attend church services such as mass then the church would be empty.

I know it all too well. But, the rethugs have used this successfully to create enough distraction to get themselves elected and to further their twisted concept of this country.
