“Unable to show concrete reliance on Roe and Casey themselves, the Solicitor General suggests that overruling those decisions would “threaten the Court’s precedents holding that the Due Process Clause protects other rights,” he wrote. “As even the Casey plurality recognized, ‘bortion is a unique act’ because it terminates ‘life or potential life.’”
That doesn’t provide Obergefell a lot of confidence that gay marriage will be safe, he said. He also said he’s concerned about abortion rights.
