“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.”
