My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

The podcast and that's what you really missed brings you back to the choir room for a gloriously gleeky rewatch of all six masterfully musical seasons of Glee.

Join cast members Kevin MacKale and Jenna Uschkewitz for never before heard stories from the cast, crew, celebrities and you, the fans from McKinley High to New York City, from the choir room to nationals and from the Super Bowl to a world tour.

Listen to and that's what you really missed on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History class, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Tracy V Wilson and I'm Holly Fry.

I've been circling the idea of an episode on Griswold versus Connecticut for years. That's the US Supreme Court decision that overturned laws banning contraception, at least when it came to married couples.

That's connected to several of our previous episodes as well. But the recent Supreme Court decision in Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health organization is really what finally propelled it up to the top.

That's the decision that came out just recently, which overturned row versus Wade and plan parenthood versus KC.

And in the concurring opinion that he wrote on this case, Justice Clariss Thomas wrote quote, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this court's substantive due process precedence, including Griswold Lawrence and Obergefell.

So substantive due process, that's the idea that courts can protect various rights that aren't specifically named in the Constitution. And in this case, it's the right to privacy.

Griswold versus Connecticut wasn't the very first Supreme Court decision ever in the US to mention the right of a concept of privacy, but it was a major decision in that regard.

I personally always had a lot of trouble understanding the logic behind the decision of row versus Wade, not the outcome, but like the reasoning of how they got there, which was essentially that abortion was also protected under a right to privacy.

That logic, though, makes a lot more sense to me with Griswold versus Connecticut as background. And then this decision is also mentioned in a lot of other decisions that came after it, beyond just the ones that were mentioned in Thomas's concurring opinion.

So that's what we're talking about today heads up. Obviously, we're going to be talking a lot about contraception in this episode.
