With the latest Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, the question remains if whether other rights not specifically mentioned in the Constitution could also be at risk.
“It’s very hard to predict what this court is going to do because this court isn’t doing what prior courts have done,” said Wright State Professor Dr. Sean Wilson. “Prior conservatives wouldn’t have thrown Roe v. Wade out the window, they would’ve tried to work with it like Justice John Roberts wanted to.”
After Justice Clarence Thomas mentioned reconsidering Griswold v. Connecticut, Lawrence v. Texas and Obergefell v. Hodges, Cedarville University Professor Dr. Marc Clauson believes those rights are here to stay.
“I really don’t think the court is in the mood to go along with that, those cases are very well established now especially contraceptives, they’re not going to do anything with that or the Obergefell case,” said Dr. Clauson.
On the other hand, Dr. Wilson believes the Supreme Court will take a second look at many historic rulings.
