What does the leaked abortion opinion tell us about the future of LGBT rights?
— Alito’s deference to the will of local legislatures sets the state Capitol and not the courtroom as the final battleground for the question of LGBT rights.
In a section discussing precedent, Alito said that abortion is distinguished from other divisive cultural issues because it involves “potential life.” “To ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,” Alito wrote.Carpenter said this means LGBT cases already decided by the court won’t be “immediately and directly” imperiled.
