Creation and evolution at the Supreme Court
In 1965 the US Supreme Court created a right of privacy finding it in the "penumbra" of the constitution. It was created to permit birth control pills to be sold. Once created, it evolved to permit abortion, and most recently to permit homosexual conduct. In some ways the right appears to be one not to procreate. While always couched in terms of sexual conduct in private is not subject to legislation by the states, the bottom line is that people have a right to engage in sexual activity without the normal consequences of that activity, i.e. reproduction.
