On June 26th, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marriage. It was a historic ruling that signified a turning point for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.
Fast-forward seven years, and a lot has changed. The Supreme Court is vastly different, and another landmark decision is pending, this time pertaining to the federal right to an abortion.
A leaked draft opinion suggests the court is ready to overturn Roe v. Wade, which could have implications for other rights, including the right to same-sex marriage.
Civil rights activist Jim Obergefell was the lead plaintiff in the 2015 case, and he joined All Things Considered to share his perspective on the uncertain future, and how his case is more closely tied to Roe v. Wade than you might think.

That fact that people don't understand that a zygote isn't a person worries me. Bodily autonomy is at risk for everyone.

There’s an important difference between abortion that kills an innocent person and same sex marriage which establishes a civil contract

Abortion doesn't kill any people...so...yeah.
Also - if Roe is overturned than the right to privacy is not guaranteed. So there goes all the other things passed because of that concept AND if it's not specifically in the Constitution. Like same sex marriage, interracial marriage, etc, etc.
