In 1970, judicial recognition of abortion rights seemed far- fetched. In January of that year, Linda Greenhouse wrote in the New York Times Magazine about a "right to abortion" - describ- ing "[s]uch a notion... [as] fantastic, illusory. The Constitution is searched in vain for any mention of it. The very phrase rings of the rhetoric of a Women's Liberation meeting."' While Greenhouse's bit of hyperbole was a setup to one of the first full-blown popular press treatments of burgeoning judicial recognition of abortion rights, no one could have foreseen the prospect of a sweeping Supreme Court decision invalidating forty-six state antiabortion laws - at least not in 1970.

  • 50 Years After the Griswold Vs. Connecticut Decision June 2015 in 1965, the Supreme Court Held in Griswold V
    GRISWOLD ANNIVERSARY • FACT SHEET FACT SHEET 50 Years After the Griswold vs. Connecticut Decision June 2015 In 1965, the Supreme Court held in Griswold v. Connecticut, that a married couple’s right to privacy includes the right to use birth control.1 This important case was one of the first steps that enabled women to access birth control legally, and in doing so, gave women greater opportunity to plan their families and lives. Furthermore, the Griswold case laid the foundation for a broad array of rights that shape Americans’ lives to this day, including rights related to birth control, child rearing, marriage, family relations, and intimacy. THE GRISWOLD CASE In 1961, Estelle Griswold opened a Planned Parenthood clinic in New Haven, Connecticut. At that time, Connecticut had a law criminalizing the distribution of birth control to married people. Griswold and the clinic’s doctor were arrested for, and ultimately convicted of, providing information and advice about birth control to married couples.2 They appealed their conviction on the grounds that the Connecticut law violated their patients’ rights under the Constitution. In 1965, the Supreme Court agreed with them and struck down the Connecticut law. In Griswold, the Court identified a “zone of privacy created “Would we allow the police to search the by several fundamental constitutional guarantees.”3 Recog- sacred precincts of marital bedrooms for nizing the importance of privacy to marriage, the Court telltale signs of the use of contraceptives? invalidated Connecticut’s attempt to prohibit married The very idea is repulsive to the notions of couples from using birth control.

  • Griswold V. Connecticut (1965) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) [1] By: Seward, Sheraden Keywords: Reproductive rights [2] Abortion [3] Contraception [4] US Supreme Court [5] The landmark Supreme Court case, Griswold v. Connecticut [6] (1965), gave women more control over their reproductive rights [7] while also bringing reproductive and birth control [8] issues into the public realm and more importantly, into the courts. Bringing these issues into the public eye allowed additional questions about the reproductive rights [7] of women, such as access to abortion [9], to be asked. This court case laid the groundwork for later cases such as Eisenstadt v. Baird (1972) and Roe v. Wade [10] (1973). Estelle Griswold [11], the executive director of the Planned Parenthood League of Connecticut (PPLC), and Dr. C. Lee Buxton [12], the director of Yale University’s infertility [13] clinic, were charged and convicted in 1962 of violating the 1879 Connecticut anti-contraception [14] law. This anti-contraception [14] law made it illegal for any person to use contraceptives or help another person obtain contraceptives. Any person found guilty of violating this law could be fined and/or imprisoned. The law itself was the primary issue being contested in the Griswold v. Connecticut [6] case. On 29 March 1965 the oral argument of the case began with Fowler V. Harper, Tom Emerson, and Catherine Roraback as the attorneys for Griswold and Buxton and Joseph Clark as the attorney for the state of Connecticut. Emerson argued that the right to privacy was implicit in the US Constitution in the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments.
