Why Other Fundamental Rights Are Safe (At Least for Now)

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : This is evident in the analogy that the dissent draws between the abortion right and the rights recognized in Griswold (contraception), Eisenstadt (same), Lawrence (sexual conduct with member of the same sex), and Obergefell (same-sex marriage).
43% : 505 U. S., at 852; see also Roe, 410 U. S., at 159 (abortion is "inherently different from marital intimacy," "marriage," or "procreation").
42% : And to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right.
42% : It is true, as both Justice Thomas and the dissent point out out, that rights to contraception, sexual intimacy, and same-sex marriage do not fit easily within the Court's narrow history-and-tradition methodology.
38% : Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.
