Here’s a roundup of key cases with church-state implications the Supreme Court will decide during the term.

In the 1950s and ’60s, Americans United worked to end state laws that banned birth control or gagged doctors from discussing it with patients. These laws were in place in some states because powerful religious groups opposed the use of artificial forms of birth control.

“The Supreme Court should strike down Mississippi’s abortion ban and uphold the foundational American principle of church-state separation, ensuring that all of us are free to live and believe as we choose and make our own decisions about reproductive health care,” said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United.
