Griswold v. Connecticut

Griswold v. Connecticut

US Supreme Court decision of 1965 dealing with state bans on the use of birth control. Griswold, the state director of the Planned Parenthood League, was convicted under a Connecticut anticontraceptive law for giving medical advice about birth control to a married couple. The Court overturned the conviction on appeal, ruling that the law was an illegitimate imposition of state police power on marital privacy guaranteed by the First, Third, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
