Texas AG says he's totally down to use Roe decision to ruin gay people's lives

[Behind the Aegis]

It’s been less than a week since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and some conservative leaders are already positioning themselves for what could come next.

In his concurring opinion with the Friday ruling to undo federal abortion rights, Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should now reconsider rulings that protect same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships, and contraception.

Thomas mentioned a few of the high court’s past rulings, including Obergefell v. Hodges, which established the right of same-sex couples to marry, and Lawrence vs. Texas—a 2003 decision in which the court ruled against the state of Texas regarding a 1973 law criminalizing the act of sodomy.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to be on board with Thomas’ approach, seemingly expressing support for the regressive agenda.

5. I don't understand how even Republicans

can suggest nullifying thousands of existing marriages, couples with children...

6. oh they would do it in a heartbeat

even if they don't necessarily care about, say, gay marriages, they do care about sticking it to the libs. The cruelty IS the point.

7. Texas AG is a sick, abusive, bigoted, fascist fuck...

Texas AG is still a crook and a criminal who needs to be in prison as well for all the crimes he has committed over the years. Not only does he need to face the music for his crimes, but he can't hurt us anymore if he's rotting in prison where he belongs.

Fuck off, Paxton.

LOCK HIM UP!
