40 Years Ago Today

From here:

WASHINGTON, DC — On June 7, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) will celebrate the 40th anniversary of constitutional protection for using birth control in the United States. In 1965, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Connecticut law that made the use of birth control by married couples illegal with its ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut. However, 40 years later, women still face unnecessary and often politically-motivated barriers to contraception.

Eisenstadt v. Baird followed in 1972, which extended that protection to the unmarried. Frankly, it’s still pretty staggering to think that anyone thought they had a right to regulate birth control in our lifetimes, but we reckon that’s (still) the province of the Jackass Right. Piss ’em off good, and have some non-procreative sex today!
