drwexThis week is the anniversary of Griswold v Connecticut, the landmark 1965 case that established a right to personal privacy, and a right of married couples at first, then later all adults to contraceptive medicines.
Griswold was also an important precedent for several later privacy-related decisions, not least of them Roe v Wade and Lawrence v Texas.
Personal privacy protection in the US is still far weaker than I'd like it to be, but it's largely due to Griswold that we have any at all.
