Hodges caseWhile Alito made it clear that “nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in a concurring opinion that the court should revisit gay marriage and other cases involving the Fourteenth Amendment, on which Roe v.

We have the right to get married, but we haven’t enjoyed marriage equality.”
