It’s impossible to wall off reversing Roe from landmark marriage and contraception rulings
Justice Samuel Alito, in his draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, tries to make clear it should not necessarily impact other decisions such as the right to marry a person of a different race or same sex and the right to contraception, which rely on some of the same threads of legal reasoning as the abortion rights landmark.

This is what the Russian war is doing to the people of Ukraine. There are people alive buried under the rubble in that steel mill and Russia won’t stop the bombing so the Ukrainians can dig them out. It is past time the countries of the world showed that this inhumanity won’t be allowed to continue. Russia hopes the world will lose interest and they can be as cruel and destructive to human life as they please. We cannot let that happen. This could have been a group of kids that got near that landmine. Remember Russia dropped thousands of trip wire triggered bombs from the skies over Ukrainian cities and towns. The idea was to kill and main as many civilians as possible. The idea is to cause terror so the people will beg Russia for peace at any cost or terms. The world cannot let this continue. We have the ability; we just need the will.
