You mean that contraception which is in line for the next court decision?

It isn't an inference or extrapolation either. From today's decision, citations my own:

> For that reason, in future fases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold[1], Lawrence[2], and Obergefell[3].

The decision advocates for re-ruling on each of these cases. If these should be decided against their current status, expect states to outlaw contraception, gay relations, and same-sex marriage.

1. Ruled that contraception bans are unconstitutional https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/griswold_v_connecticut_%2819...

2. Ruled that sodomy bans are unconstitutional https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/lawrence_v._texas

3. Ruled that same-sex marriage bans are unconstitutional https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/14-556

Isn’t this from Thomas’s concurrence?

In other words, Thomas has always been crazy about this sort of thing but no one else on the court agrees.

Hence why nobody else signed on to this concurrence.

The other five Republican-aligned justices have amply demonstrated that they’re lying liars when it comes to their publicly-stated vs. actual intentions.

Yeah, right. Like those liars didn’t say in their confirmation hearing that Roe vs Wade was an established precedent and wouldn’t be touched. Either you are so gullible that you still believe them against all the evidence or you are in bad faith. Tertium non datur.

That doesn't really matter though, what matters is how they will vote and if they voted like they did today then all bets are off.

Thomas’ dicta have a bad habit of becoming the right wing party line on the Court in 2.0 years or so

Exactly. They won't stop there either.

Abstinence is a form of contraception. This is gonna get weird.

You didn’t watch the handmaid’s tale? The commanders were pretty much forced to rape their handmaid to procreate. This is what they want, a continuous influx of cheap poor laborers that are pretty much slaves.

That's not as far fetched as you would hope. Of course by the time we see that come to pass it'll be too late.
