We had this discussion in the MI protest. The intent of any protest is to influence and intimidate others into falling in line with your position. When it is done outside your private residence the implication is clear, we know where you live and we want you to fall in line with our position. If you're claiming you wouldn't feel uneasy and intimidated with hundreds of people protesting outside your home I'm going to have to call 100% bullshit on that.
I didn't mention inter-racial marriage. That aside, you're going to have to show me some proof that the majority of US citizens were in favor of either same sex marriage or forced integration at the time they were enacted. Honestly, the fact that SCOTUS had to be the ones to implement both really puts the onus on you to prove otherwise. If they were the "will of the people" why did SCOTUS have to be the one to enact them and not Congress, the organ that is actually supposed to represent the will of the people.
I don't disagree with your position on Roe in so far as it certainly will put women in red states in a difficult position. But there has always been a balancing act between majority will and minority rights. Pure majority rule is a recipe for some very ugly outcomes. I'll conclude by stating that your ire should really be directed at the Dems, who failed to codify Roe style protections into federal law despite having the majority and the presidency on several occasions since the decision was made. When you let SCOTUS write legislation for you then be prepared for SCOTUS to undo said "legislation" in the future.
They also just tried to pass a bill that instead of being a reasonable bill allowed abortion by choice up until childbirth, and mandated tax payer funded abortions.
