AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that the Supreme Court was"clearly wrong" in its 2015 ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage on the federal level.Fired-up Lightfoot, Chicago mayor, yells ' Clarence Thomas'
The Texas Republican said that Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that was brought before the court in 2015, ignored 200 years of national history and that marriage had always been an issue left for the states to decide. "In Obergefell, the court said 'no, we know better than you guys do, and now every state must, must sanction and permit gay marriage.'" Cruz said."I think that decision was clearly wrong when it was decided. It was the court overreaching."
The comments from Cruz come just weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, with a ruling that now leaves abortion laws up to the states. In a concurring opinion, conservative Justice Clarence Thomas called on the court to reconsider other rulings that struck down state restrictions, including the Obergefell decision.
He's right. It's up to individual states to decide. Try reading the Constitution!

His opinion isn’t mainstream?!? What shall we ever do? Let's hope the Equal Protection Clause holds up in any future attacks on gay marriage.

IVF treatment can continue under Texas’ current abortion law, experts sayDoctors and legal experts say Texas’ anti-abortion laws haven’t yet affected fertility treatments, and it appears an unlikely target for anti-abortion groups in the state for now. Let's be honest , why would anti-abortion groups target people wealthy enough for IVF? Not their style to single out anyone but the poor. Right because it's about controlling and punishing women, not any BS about the sanctity of a fertilized egg. For now....
