It’s a Roe v. Wade rematch when the Supreme Court hears the case of Planned Parenthood vs. Casey in 1992. As a new split forms among the Court’s conservatives, Sandra Day O’Connor, the country’s first female justice, is the deciding vote to determine the future of abortion rights in the United States.

Substantive due process is now a political issue. Republicans start appointing justices willing to reverse or limit the doctrine responsible for Roe v. Wade. Meanwhile, progressives try to expand interpretations of the 14th amendment to start protecting gay rights.

With substantive due process back in full force, the Supreme Court takes up the issue of abortion and decides its most controversial case in recent history: Roe v. Wade.

Just two years after its historic decision in Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court decides a landmark case about interracial marriage. While the case could have been decided based only on the Equal Protection clause, the Court went further to answer a more fundamental question: can the government stop a person from Loving someone?

After 30 years without a landmark substantive due process case, the clause makes a roaring comeback in the 1960s when civil rights attorneys revive an old legal doctrine. A new liberty is recognized that will shape the modern world, and it starts by protecting access to contraception for married couples.

The Lochner Era continues well into the 1930s. The Supreme Court was as divided as ever and starts to become a problem for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal policies. So FDR comes up with a drastic plan to free himself and the nation from the nine old men and bring the Lochner Era to a dramatic end.
