reversal of roe v. wade poses and that is that it refers to the states. let me just explain that right now, 35 states in america either ban same marriage by virtue of the statute or constitution. wisconsin is a key example. in 2000 and, six the voters of my state voted to define marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman. if obergefell were to be overturned by the supreme court than the governance of these matters would fall to the states. but now that we have passed the respect for marriage act, what that does is says if you have a valid marriage license if you re the marriage that was valid, where entered and when, entered every state has to respect that. including a state like wisconsin. this is exactly the same sort
the house is set to vote on a bill that would codify same-sex marriage into law. the respect for marriage act was introduced yesterday by a bipartisan group of lawmakers. it would repeal the 1996 defense of marriage act which defined marriage as being between one man and one woman. the law which is still in the books became unenforceable after the supreme court s 2015 decision in obergefell v hodges which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. the move comes after the supreme court s decision to overturn roe last month, after which justice clarence thomas said the court should reconsider its past rulings on same-sex marriage and access to birth control. later this week, the house will also vote on a bill which would protect access to contraceptives. both bills are expected to pass the house, with democratic support, and it is very unclear if they can also pass the senate. still ahead here, we re going to turn to business. the futures board is back in the green. following a rollercoa
