Following up on an interesting conversation in fairoriana's journal, I'm curious about what people know and/or remember about U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

Before clicking through, please see how many U.S. Supreme Court decisions you can name off the top of your head.

Yeah, the father of Roe v. Wade was Griswold v. Connecticut, which was the first case to articulate a right to privacy. That one was about a law forbidding married couples to buy contraceptives.

It's kind of hard to wrap my mind around how different my world would be if contraception were not an established right. It really is the foundation of women's involvement in public life.

My parents didn't have access to it. I find it really easy to wrap my mind around it. *shudder*
