Which of the following three court cases affected marriage and family planning?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Obergefell v. Hodges

Loving v. Virginia

Roe v. Wade

Explanation:

Obergefell v. Hodges & Loving v. Virginia were Supreme Court cases that had to do with marriage. Obergefell v. Hodges was the most recent case in 2015, ruling that same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry. Loving v. Virginia (1967) was a case that outlawed the segregation-era ban on interracial marriage. Both cases ruled that the protections were guaranteed under the Equal Protection & Due Process Clauses in the 14th Amendment.

Roe v. Wade (1973) is a more disputed case, but the original ruling guaranteed a woman's right to abort her baby. The Due Process Clause regarding privacy was again argued here.
