GOP Insists Contraceptives, Gay Marriage Not Threatened

“Following the Supreme Court’s ruling last month to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats are pushing to codify other rights that have been left vulnerable by the decision into federal law — including access to contraception, same-sex marriage, and potentially interracial marriage,” Vanity Fair reports.

“But they may have an uphill battle: Such measures seem to have little appeal to the GOP, whose members insist that those protections are unnecessary because those rights are not under threat.”

Said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to Axios: “I have no reason to believe these precedents are going to fall.”

Added Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA): “Nothing like that should even be thought about by anybody because it’s not endangered in any way. I don’t know why people would come to that conclusion.”
