Obergefell ends Roe like public opinion shifts on marriage
The piece argues Obergefell signals a cultural shift as public opinion favors same sex marriage while abortion remains hotly disputed. It contrasts measurable support for gay union with persistent abortion divides, noting demographics and experiences shape views, and cites Kennedy’s ruling perspective. Steve and Cokie Roberts conclude with a call to recognize Obergefell’s impact.
