Nor do I see a visible portion of the population advocating to do so, let alone a portion with significant leverage in politics like what the pro-life movement has. Loving and Roe are not comparable in this sense.
Both are based on the same Constitutional right to privacy, as are Griswold (contraception) and Obergefell (same-sex marriage). If the US government must remain neutral with respect to state enactments criminalizing abortion as the putative Supremes' majority reasons why must it not remain neutral with respect to state enactments criminalizing contraception or marriage between people of the same gender or different races? And I wouldn't be so damn certain that Mississippi wouldn't move to criminalize any of that.
I don't think Mississippi or any state would criminalize interracial marriage. I see no demand for it.
Criminalizing gay marriage? Sure. That is possible.
