Evolution of Privacy Rights in Reproductive and Family Choices
This chapter traces the historical development of privacy rights in decisions concerning raising children, contraception, marriage, and sexuality, from early cases like Mayor v. Nebraska to landmark decisions such as Griswold v. Connecticut, Loving v. Virginia, and Obergefell. It explores how the legal concept of privacy has been integral to issues like reproductive health, same-sex marriage, and equal protection against discrimination, especially through the lens of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's advocacy. The narrative underscores the establishment of a zone of personal autonomy in the US legal landscape, limiting government intrusion in matters of family, sexuality, and personal choices.
