Washington, D.C. — Some demonstrators at weekend Iowa rallies expressed concern issues like same-sex marriage or contraception might be next to be revisited by the U.S. Supreme Court, after last week’s rulings on guns and abortion. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley doubts such issues would be reconsidered by the high court.
Grassley, a Republican, says there’s a clear difference between issues like abortion and birth control or LGBTQ rights. He says abortion has been the topic of debate for five decades — and longer.
In his concurring opinion issued Friday, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said the Court should reconsider opinions which protect same-sex relationships, marriage equality and access to contraceptives.
