Griswold v. Connecticut was a landmark case in 1965 in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protects a right to privacy and married couples have the right to use birth control. This case was brought by a women's group seeking support from the courts to challenge a Connecticut law that prohibited the use of contraceptives. The decision was a major victory for the women's rights movement because it established a precedent that the government cannot interfere with the private decisions of individuals with regard to their reproductive health.
