Prior to 1965, some US states criminalised the posess and/or distribution of contraceptives for reasons of public morality on the grounds that contraception would encourage [[premarital sex]]. In the 1965 [[Supreme Court]] case of [[Griswold v. Connecticut]], [[activist judges]] invented a constitutional right to contraception. The 1972 case of [[Eisenstadt v. Baird]] later extended this invented right to include even unmarried couples, rendering any legal attempt to restrict access impossible.
