So you believe Griswold will be overturned based on the pending Texas case? If so, what moral basis do you propose being the benchmark of future state laws designed to limit private consensual behavior? Or, is it simply a matter of majority opinion?

It also sounds like you approve of outlawing contraception. Is this a general conservative position?

1) I stated that this decision could begin the overturning of Roe v Wade. Maybe Griswold, too...but Roe is the first one which will logically fall.

2) Contraception is immoral and strictly speaking should be illegal. It is un-natural. Having said that, there's little enthusiasm for putting a law against it on the books and it won't happen.

This case is about States' Rights, not about Federal "rights" to immorality. If it were about Federal Rights to be Immoral, the IRS would be history.
