Law
Substantive Due Process and the Right to Bodily Autonomy
Quick fact
The Supreme Court first used substantive due process to protect bodily autonomy in 1965, when it struck down a Connecticut law banning contraception. The right was not found in a specific part of the Constitution but in the 'penumbras' of the Bill of Rights.
Why this is interesting
You have a right to decide what happens to your own body—but the Constitution never explicitly says so. How do judges know you have that right?
