According to Alito's wording in his 'draft' opinion, as well as past comments from people like Amy Coney Barrett, it's possible that the Court, as it's currently structured, could not only overturn same-sex marriage, they could also undo their ruling making anti-sodomy laws unconstitutional, in 'Lawrence v. Texas' (Justice Thomas wrote the dessenting opinion in that case) which would allow states to once again criminalize homosexual behavior.

And speaking of Amy Coney Barrett, she's also made it clear that she's opposed to the use of contraceptives, at least by females (condoms are OK because they prevent disease), as well as (IVF) In Vitro Fertilization.

And then there's the forces in the country who would like to see the courts overturn 'Brown v. Board of Education' and 'Loving v. Virginia', and with the current conservative make-up of the Court, this may be the last best chance that these people will ever have to take the country back to the 50's when people knew their place and stayed in it.

“If the report is accurate, the Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years – not just on women but on all Americans,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement. “The Republican-appointed Justices’ reported votes to overturn Roe v. Wade would go down as an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.”

More Pelosi and Schumer:

“Several of these conservative Justices, who are in no way accountable to the American people, have lied to the U.S. Senate, ripped up the Constitution and defiled both precedent and the Supreme Court’s reputation – all at the expense of tens of millions of women who could soon be stripped of their bodily autonomy and the constitutional rights they’ve relied on for half a century.

“The party of Lincoln and Eisenhower has now completely devolved into the party of Trump. Every Republican Senator who supported Senator McConnell and voted for Trump Justices pretending that this day would never come will now have to explain themselves to the American people.”
