This issue should be codified into law by congress, one way or the other. It would be better as a state issue.
You seem to be confused about the intersection of federal law, state law, and the Constitution. What you are talking about would require a Constitutional amendment, not a new law.
I remember John's grandmother telling me about her back alley abortion. It was done without anesthesia and a horrendous, dangerous procedure. Many women died. It was done during the depression. They already had 4 children and were crammed into a small house with his parents. Keeping 4 adults and 4 children fed when there wasn't any work was no easy feat. Was it irresponsible on their part for becoming pregnant? Should they be penalized for an accident? Will people stop having abortions is Roe v Wade is overturned? I suspect not. Who has the right to decide whether or not to carry a child? Some religious fringe or the individual?
I don't care. Marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman.
You have a right to believe that, and to, of course, decline to marry someone of the same sex, but why do you feel the need to impose this view on others?
