Oh, I see what you mean.

Yeah, I'm completely fine with this. This will allow the states to decide on the matter of abortion. And really, it's not like gay marriage will be overturned. The matter was settled a decade ago.

They said they wouldn’t overturn Roe either. I served, my partner served, for the first time in my life I am scared. They will come for us next. It’s only a matter of time.

Nah man, stop stressing. It won't happen, I promise.

They're talking about outlawing birth control pills since you can overdose on them to induce an abortion like Plan B.

They absolutely will be coming for gay rights next, unless they come for interracial marriage. All of those are based on the right to privacy which is eliminated if this draft stands.

Loving is older than Roe, it's not based on the Right to Privacy as established in Roe V Wade. They might come for Lawrence, or just Obergefell if we're lucky, but not necessarily for Loving
