““a constitutionally protected freedom of choice to make certain basic decisions regarding marriage, procreation, family life and privacy. See, e.g.: Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 , 93 S. Ct. 705 , 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 (1973); Stanley v. Illinois, 405 U.S. 645 , 92 S. Ct. 1208 , 31 L. Ed. 2d 551 (1972); Eisenstadt v. Baird, 405 U.S. 438 , 92 S. Ct. 1029 , 31 L. Ed. 2d 349 (1972); Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 , 85 S. Ct. 1678 , 14 L. Ed. 2d 510 (1965); Meyer v. Nebraska, 262 U.S. 390 , 43 S. Ct. 625 , 67 L. Ed. 1042 (1923). This freedom of choice, it would seem, should include the same right which an adult has to refuse to visit a parent[,] *** as well as freedom to make important decisions regarding personal preferences and associates.” 313 Pa. Super, at 86-87, 459 A.2d at 422-23 .”
