In his response to Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas said other rulings similar to Roe, including those around same-sex marriage, should be reconsidered as they are not necessarily constitutional rights.

While Alito stated in the majority opinion that “this decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right,” others have begun to express concern over rights such as same-sex marriage.



Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case legalizing same-sex marriage, said after the court’s ruling on abortion, “When we lose one right that we have relied on and enjoyed, other rights are at risk.”
