Log Cabin Republicans President Charles Moran, who wrote an op-ed last month on the implications of an overturn of Roe v. Wade for marriage equality, released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court decision:
“As the nation debates what happens next after the overturn of Roe v. Wade, one thing remains clear to us: marriage equality remains safe and settled. As a majority of Justices on the Supreme Court agreed, ‘The Court emphasizes that this decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.’ While Leftist groups will no doubt mislead about the decision, fear-monger about Republicans, and gin up their scare tactics to boost their fundraising to elect more radical Democrats in November, LGBT conservatives remain level-headed and focused on the actual opinion. If we see a credible threat to marriage equality, we will fight it – but this isn’t it.”
