In an unexpected consequence of the Supreme Court’s reversal of the Roe vs. Wade decision, Congress may be poised to codify same-sex marriage rights.

, Congress may be poised to codify same-sex marriage rights.

The same-sex marriage vote faces an uphill battle in the Senate, where Democrats would have to pick up the support of 10 Republicans to overcome a filibuster, assuming all Democrats support the measure. But in a nod to the dramatic swing some Republicans have undertaken on the issue, there are signs some will cross party lines.Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, who was the first Republican to support same-sex marriage in 2013 after his son came out, is expected to join Sen.

“I was really impressed by how much bipartisan support it got in the House,” Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Wednesday. “We’re working to get the necessary Senate Republican support to ensure it would pass.”
