It's about Privacy, stupid.

The reason that the likes of Clarence Thomas wants to overturn Griswold, Lawrence, Obergefell (but not Loving) is not sexual morality or religion, it is to extinguish the Constitutional Right to privacy. That right stands in the way of 'effective' enforcement of bans on abortion, contraception, and 'abnormal' consensual sex behind closed doors. But more importantly, it impedes the Republic's devolution into dictatorship. That is what it's about IMO. Thomas, Alito and Barrett are not small d democrats, and in the case of the Thomas couple, more like outright totalitarians. So step right this way 'mam, you know it is sedition to employ an IUD. It's about privacy, stupid.

Hard to imagine how a pre-electronic society could effectively anticipate the privacy issues of today.

This "originalists" stuff is madness.
