Some state officials see the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning the right to abortion as reason to support measures that would outlaw gay sex and ban medical transitioning treatments for transgender youths.
The June 24 decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturned Roe v. Wade, the opinion establishing a constitutional right to abortion.
“The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision,” the Supreme Court said in Dobbs.
