The common thread running through all these cases is this notion of "well it isn't in the constitution so it can't be upheld". THIS is what's in it for the capitalists, who are largely indifferent to the culture war. These issues are just the keys they jangle in the faces of the chuds to get their votes.
What the capitalists want is a government that will aggressively shoot down any attempts at reform. They want to lock in a system that will destroy any attempts to limit their power or ability to make profits. Pass legislation to enact universal healthcare? Courts will just say that's not in the constitution. Collective bargaining? Not in the constitution. Etc etc
I don't want to minimize how truly heinous overturning Roe, Obergfell, Lawrence et al will be in and of themselves. Just pointing out that even through this, the gears of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie are still grinding away. It's socialism or barbarism, comrades...
