Author Geoffrey R. Stone talks about his new book, “Sex and the Constitution,” which chronicles the epic story of how sex came to be legislated in America.

The book explores how two centuries of American law have imposed regulations over contraception, abortion, obscenity and sodomy, and looks ahead to future fights in a battle-worn Supreme Court, as justices navigate profoundly divisive yet vital issues.

“Sex and the Constitution” shows how our sexual mores sprang not only from Enlightenment-era revolutionaries, but extend further back to Judeo-Christian beliefs about sex, sin and shame.
