"Sexing the Constitution"

What is the proper role of sexuality in constitutional law?
To what extent is the Court acting responsibly when it
protects sexually explicit art, of a right to use contraceptives,
or a right to abortion, or a right not to be prosecuted to be a
homosexual?

The University of Chicago's Geoff Stone addresses these
questions and more in his presentation entitled, "Sexing
the Constitution." The talk lays out some of the preliminary
research that Professor Stone has done for a future book on
how sexuality and sexual behavior is treated in
constitutional law.

You can listen to the the presentation and discussion
from a link on the University of Chicago Law Faculty Blog.
