Something happened in 1973... I can’t quite put my finger on it. Something about the US Supreme Court inventing a Constitutional right to privacy... or something.

Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. (1965), is when the SCOTUS suddenly FOUND the Constitutional right to privacy.

Of course that right allowed for contraception to be used because it was a secret that could be kept because of the ‘right to marital secrecy’ Some how the prohibition of compelling a spouse to give witness in court against the other spouse and the requirement for the government to get a warrant to search ones home and papers morphed into a right to privacy.

Of course any rational person understands that contraception and abortion go hand in glove with one another.

Of course the right to privacy only extends to ones genital regions and how they are used. It doesn’t protect against an agent of the government sexually assaulting you at the airport or tracking every phone call, computer key stroke or website you may decide to visit. Those aren’t important rights like the privacy to conspire murder of another human life.
