Societies that ban Porn treat women really well

87. The INHERENT connection is personal freedom and privacy

Griswold and Roe are based on the same general idea as legalizing porn... that the state is limited in its ability to intrude into certain spheres of life. The porn decisions relied on different constitutional reasoning, having the First Amendment to use, but the philosophical and emotional motivation of the justices (which is, unfortunately, at least 50% of constitutional law in practice) was the same... this is none of the government's business.

You want to have sex using contraception? That's a sin. An outrage against god. A denial of the legitimate state interest in more citizens... whatever.

But when push comes to shove it is your business. Being gay is your business. Watching porn is your business. Shacking up versus getting married is your business.

You are free to imagine that kicking one leg from the stool of co-mingled autonomy and privacy rights leaves the stool standing. Others are free to disagree.

Either way, the fact is that the anti-porn feminists are "useful idiots" (Orwell's phrase) lending cultural support (however well-intentioned) to banning abortion and outlawing sodomy.

Our modern panoply of rights is a structure, not a buffet.
