“If you do not protect marriage equality, you are saying that we do not belong in "We the "people,” said Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. He and constitutional experts and civil rights advocates testified at a hearing on the privacy and civil rights implications of the Supreme Court decision overturning of Roe v. Wade, including for contraceptives access, same-sex couple adoption, women’s equality, and other Supreme Court decisions once considered precedent. They also addressed the recent news of a 10-year-old girl from Ohio who was raped and became pregnant but was denied the ability to have an abortion due to state law. When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) asked the minority witness, Catherine Glenn Foster, whether the girl should be able to make the decision to carry the baby to term, she said “I believe it would probably impact her life, and so therefore, it would fall under any exception and it would not be an abortion.” close
