US v. Virginia  1996  The Virginia Military Institute had a proud tradition of being an all male place of education.

Planned Parenthood v. Casey  1992  Penn. updated its laws so that women had to wait 24 hours after informed consent, minors require the consent of 1 parent, & wives must show that she has informed her husband.  Were they regulations against Roe v. Wade?  SC: Roe v. Wade still stands but states have the ability to put in extra regulations if they were not considered an “undue burden”

Lawrence v. Texas  2003  The police entered the home of Lawrence under the suspicion of a weapon disturbance to find him engaging in a sex act w/ another man.
