9. CONTRACEPTIVES: In 1972, the Supreme Court made it legal for all citizens to possess birth control, irrespective of marital status, stating "if the right of privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or beget a child." (It's worth noting, however, that in 1972, states could still constitutionally prohibit and punish sex outside of marriage.)
And yet we have how many freak'n abortions a year in this country??? This Supreme Court law in 1972 gives the fundamental decision to bear a child or not yet for some reason people can't figure out how to use the contraceptives they have the right to now have cause of a law???? Maybe the Court should have given some directions with that law.
