When the lopsidedly conservative Supreme Court overturned the federal right to reproductive health care last month, it was not simply a seismic, and horrific, repeal of bodily autonomy for millions of people across the country. It was also a klaxon warning that this overtly Christian theocratic body was more than willing to impose further draconian restrictions on any number of marginalized communities should the opportunities arise.
This weekend, Ted Cruz said the loud part even louder for anyone credulous enough to doubt that this is what conservatives had in mind all along, setting his sights on the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
