Law professor Jessica Mason Pieklo, speaking to Salon in June 2018, also feared that Griswold v. Connecticut could be on the chopping block. Pieklo warned, "The contraception decisions are the cornerstones of reproductive and sexual privacy. If you really want to undo those protections, it's not enough to undo Roe, for example. You need to go back and really get to that heart of the right of privacy."
Pieklo added, "It's something that conservatives have been complaining about forever. They don't just say that abortion is wrongly decided. They talk about this Court creating a right of privacy where one does not exist."
The U.S. Supreme Court is even more right-wing in 2021 than it was in June 2018 when Scott and Pieklo spoke to Salon. Kennedy was replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a hard-right social conservative. And after liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death in 2020, she was replaced by Justice Amy Coney Barrett — an extreme social conservative along the lines of Justice Clarence Thomas and the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
