For much of U.S. history, individuals’ rights to privacy were severely curbed. In the privacy of their home, they could not view or read pornography. Access to birth control was curbed and women could not terminate a pregnancy. The often-called “sexual revolution” of the 1960s and 1970s altered this by giving the baby boomer generation more rights than Americans had ever before enjoyed. Important court rulings of the day were Griswold vs. Connecticut, which voided a state statute prohibiting the use of contraceptives, and Roe vs. Wade, which overturned state abortion statutes.
