“No one should be confident that this majority is done with its work. The right Roe and Casey recognized does not stand alone. To the contrary, the Court has linked it for decades to other settled freedoms involving bodily integrity, familial relationships, and procreation"

"Most obviously, the right to terminate a pregnancy arose straight out of the right to purchase and use contraception. .. In turn, those rights led, more recently, to rights of same-sex intimacy and marriage. …
"..part of the same constitutional fabric, protecting autonomous decision making over the most personal of life decisions. The majority (or to be more accurate, most of it) is eager to tell us today that nothing it does ‘cast[s] doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.’
"… Either the mass of the majority's opinion is hypocrisy, or additional constitutional rights are under threat. It is one or the other. … But we cannot understand how anyone can be confident that today’s opinion will be the last of its kind.”
