Hodges. "While left-wing groups continue to fear-monger in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, they knowingly ignore the majority opinion in that case, which held that “[n]othing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion…We have also explained why that is so: rights regarding contraception and same-sex relationships are inherently different. "In sum, this bill is less about codifying same-sex marriage and more about expressing scorn and intolerance for people of faith who have a sincerely held religious belief in favor of traditional marriage." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |
