Legal Experts: Overturning Roe Could Lead to Ending Same-Sex Marriage & Access to Contraceptives
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Legal experts are warning the overturning of Roe could pave the way for
the conservative justices to also end same-sex marriage and access to
contraceptives. On Tuesday, Congressmember Pramila Jayapal spoke at a
protest in Seattle.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal: "There is a straight line from upending abortion
rights to getting rid of access to contraception, to banning gay
marriage. And our low-income communities, our Black and Brown
communities, our LGBTQ communities will be the ones who pay the steepest
price, because abortion won't go away, but safe and legal abortion will,
endangering millions of people."
