But recently, as the conservative tide has continued to swell, this campaign has taken on a broader scope. Its true beginning point may not be Roe but Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 case that had the effect of legalizing contraception.

A law that was never enforced. The real reason Griswold pushed against it was to create a "right to privacy."

Anyone who is for outlawing contraception gets nothing but scorn for me. Aside from the Romans and the Greeks, what major Christian denomination hasn't repealed the ban on contraception for their congregants. Even most married Catholics use artificial birth control these days.

Puritanism: The deathly fear that someone, somewhere is getting a blow job from his wife.

You know, the right of the people to left alone by the government as long as they are not hurting someone is a cornerstone of the American system of government - for lack of a better term "right to privacy" sounds good.

It is very ironic that the abortion debate has led to small government conservatives arguing there is no right to privacy.

I'd like to see us separate those issues - recognize the right to privacy but make it clear that right does not extend to killing your child.

Bandwagon fallacy.

LOL And I'm sure they stay up nights, crying about it.

A law that was never enforced.

The opinion of the Court in Griswold says that the two appellants in that case were arrested, convicted and fined.
