Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The draft takes aim at the right to privacy, which is the basis for several other rights that the Court has established over the years, including same-sex and interracial marriage as well as the right to contraception.
51% : He goes on to demonstrate how a similar scenario could play out for same-sex marriage.
48% : The problem is that this draft opinion, if made official, could potentially set a precedent for future challenges to contraceptive access -- as well as marriage equality.
46% : The opinion, if made official, would overturn Roe v. Wade and the right to abortion under the US Constitution.
45% : It has since been used in cases like Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 case that established the right to same-sex marriage.
37% : Later, 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?"These are scary scenarios to think about, to say the least.
11% : In the draft, Alito wrote, "Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion," setting up abortion as a unique issue because it involves a "critical moral question."
