We all know that the Dobbs decision overruled the long standing precedent of Roe v. Wade. The strange thing about the decision is that the justices made specific note that the decision applied to abortion only. That raises a lot of interesting questions.
First, does the decision really have a legal basis due to that note? Also, legally the right to privacy also applies to rulings on a number of issues. LGBT rights, contraception, and interracial marriage to name a few. Is this really a slippery slope? Or is this just a tactic being used by the Democrats to bring social progressives to the voting booth? This is an interesting note in the logic of the decision.

Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
