Lori Lightfoot, the lesbian mayor of Chicago, took to Twitter Monday to warn others in the LGBTQ+ community that the Supreme Court would be “coming after us next,' following the leaked draft opinion striking down the key abortion precedent Roe v. Wade (1973).
on Tuesday that the"underlying premise" of the leaked draft Dobbs opinion"basically says all the decisions related to your private life — who you marry, whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not, whether or not you can have an abortion, a range of other decisions" would be fair game for legislating because Roe affirmed a right to privacy encompassing abortion.
He asked,"does this mean that in Florida they can decide they’re going to pass a law saying that same-sex marriage is not permissible, that it’s against the law in Florida?"He cited Griswold v. Connecticut , in which the Court guaranteed the right to contraception in marriage, as under threat.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito addresses the audience during the "The Emergency Docket" lecture Thursday, Sept. 30, 2021 in the McCartan Courtroom at the University of Notre Dame Law School in South Bend, Ind.
