âThe Viewâ co-host Whoopi Goldberg is suggesting that conservatives may try to overturn the decision that struck down laws banning interracial marriage.
During a segment on the Supreme Courtâs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Goldberg said, âIâm very pro-life. Iâve never been anti-life. I want people to have the lives they want.â
She added, âBut I donât want to force anybody â I donât want anybody coming in my house telling me how to raise my daughter and what she needs.â
âBecause whatâs next?â she asked.
Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in to suggest that decisions on contraception and same-sex marriage could be overturned.
âWe were not in the Constitution either,â Goldberg said apparently in reference to Black people. âWe were not even people in the Constitution.â
She then appeared to suggest that interracial marriage might be at risk too and sent a message to Justice Clarence Thomas.â
âYou better hope they donât come for you, Clarence, and say that you should not be married to your wife who happens to be wife,â Goldberg said.
She added, âYou better hope that nobody says well, you know, youâre not in the Constitution, youâre back to being a quarter of a person. Cause thatâs not going to work either.â

The segment comes after the Supreme Court overturned Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, as IJR reported.
On Friday, the court announced its decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Womenâs Health abortion case.
The opinion, penned by Justice Samuel Alito, stated, âAbortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion.â
âRoe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,â it added.
Since a draft of the opinion was leaked in May, several Democrats have argued that other rights could be a risk.
However, Alito argued in the opinion that Roe is âsharplyâ distinguished from other cases because it âdestroys what those decisions call âpotential life.'â
He also said the Dobbs decision âdoes not undermine them in any way.â
