While extreme acts of an alleged attempted murder and vandalism are cropping up ahead of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling, some prominent Democrats are working to instill subtler but more prolific fears in Americans with their messaging about the case.
They paint an ominous picture of the ruling eventually affecting an individual’s ability to, for example, access birth control or legally marry someone of the same sex.
Far-left firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) shared on social media in May, “As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion – they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights.”
Ocasio-Cortez provided her comments alongside an excerpt from the bombshell draft of the Dobbs ruling, which was leaked to Politico and published last month.

Alito described Roe as “egregiously wrong from the start” and detailed how no implied protections of abortion exist within the Constitution, including within the Fourteenth Amendment under which the court-established right to privacy falls.
Vice President Kamala Harris nevertheless used the draft opinion to warn at an EMILY’s List event that the forthcoming ruling — if the same as the draft — would serve as a “direct assault on our freedom.”
