The three Republican candidates vying to become Attorney General said they oppose the Supreme Court ruling which allowed married couples to use birth control, saying the issue should be left to the states. The right to privacy established in that case, 1965’s Griswold v. Connecticut, is at stake—along with abortion and birth control access, legalization of marriage equality, and even sex. Current Michigan Attorney General, Democrat Dana Nessel, said her state still has an expansive sodomy law on the books that a conservative AG could weaponize, even against heterosexual couples.

“It’s a 15-year felony not just to have same-sex intimate relationships, [but] our sodomy statute basically prohibits everything but missionary sex,” said Nessel. “So oral sex and anal sex, to have those types of sexual acts with your legally consenting spouse, you could theoretically go to prison for up to 15 years—it’s the same [penalty] as sex by force,” she added. What it means, explained Nessel, is that “you don’t automatically have those rights as an American by virtue of the fact that you live in a nation that values your right to privacy and believes that government has no place in your bedroom,” adding “People ought to be very concerned about that.”
