When the nation's highest court nullified federal abortion rights that had been secured under Roe, Justice Clarence Thomas expressed that the Court should also "reconsider" rulings that protect contraception access, same-sex-relationships, and same-sex marriage. In a solo concurring opinion, Thomas argued the Court should reexamine what rights are protected under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

Perhaps the most harmful fiction the media has pushed is that interracial relationships are special.
