Privacy in Marrage

∙ 15y agoIn Griswold v Connecticut (1965) the US Supreme Court ruled that there exists a Right to Privacy, despite not being specifically mentioned in the Bill of Rights. The justices acknowledged penumbra rights, logical conclusions from those enunciated in the Constitution. This case was specifically about marital privacy, and the use of contraceptives. The ruling overturned the Connecticut law which banned their use even by married couples.
Both Griswold and Eisenstadt v. Baird (1972, which extended the right privacy to unmarried couples) were the basis for the decision in Roe v. Wade (1973), which ruled that the government could not interfere in the private decision between a woman and her doctor about whether to get an abortion.
Griswold and Eisenstadt were also the basis for Lawrence v Texas, which overturned Texas anti-sodomy laws, likewise saying there could be no government interest served in impinging on a couple's right to privacy.
