An earlier event or action regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances.Slide3
Court case decisions have the ability to impact all further decisions relating to a particular topic.
So, the decision in one court case can change the country in many ways Slide4

th
amendment, protects the “right to privacy”

Roe v

Under the right to privacy established in Griswold, you cannot deny a women an abortionSlide8
Planned Parenthood v
. Casey
After abortion was legalized in Roe
v
. Wade, the court decided that you cannot deny a women an abortion, but a state may set regulations.
This case would have ended differently had the right to privacy never been established and abortions made legal.Slide9
Eisenstad
v
. Baird
In this case, a state law forbade single people from receiving contraceptives.
The court decided that under the right to privacy, you cannot restrict single people only.
Everyone has the right to obtain contraceptives.Slide10
Planned Parenthood v
.
Danforth
In this case, the state of Missouri had restrictions on abortion that were unconstitutional.
Under the right to privacy established in Griswold, the court decided you cannot force a women to have the fathers consent.Slide11
Singleton v
.
Wulff
In Missouri, a law was passed that denied Medicaid benefits for people receiving abortions.
Under the Establishment Clause and the right to privacy, the court deemed the Missouri law unconstitutional.Slide12
Carey
v
. Population Services International
In this case, the state of New York made it illegal for minors to purchase contraceptives.
This was deemed unconstitutional, because matters of procreation are protected by privacy rights.Slide13
As you can see, the decision in Griswold
v
. Connecticut set precedent for a large amount of important court case decisions.
One court decision can lead to many similar decisions and affect many things.
