How did a law review article impact one of the most famous cases in Supreme Court history? Hidden in the line connecting Griswold v. Connecticut’s “penumbras and emanations” to Roe v. Wade’s right to abortion, the 1968 law review article “Federal Constitutional Limitations on the Enforcement and Administration of State Abortion Statutes” drew together the right to privacy arguments used in Roe v. Wade for the first time. Three law professors and a judge discuss Roy Lucas’ law review article and how it led to the seminal Supreme Court decision.
