Estelle Griswold began her fight for contraception (birth control) in the 1940's. She traveled to different slums of the world and realized that these places were largely overpopulated. This sparked an interest in her. She believed that inadequate information about contraception was a major cause of human misery both abroad and even in segments of the Connecticut population. When she returned to New Haven, she joined the Planned Parenthood League and soon became its Executive Director, a position held until 1965. This was when allegations were held against her and Dr. C. Lee Buxton for opening a birth control clinic to dispense condoms and contraception. Both Griswold and Buxton were arrested within a week, but they didn't fight the arrest. They knew this was the chance to bring justice for the right to privacy. So

on after the Supreme Court accepted the case.

Although the Constitution did not explicitly protect a general right to privacy, the various guarantees within the Bill of Rights created zones that established a right to privacy. Together, the First, Third, Fourth, and Ninth Amendments created a new constitutional right, the right to privacy in marital relations. The Connecticut statute conflicted with the exercise of this right and was therefore considered to be void.

This 1965 Supreme Court decision not only overturned an out-of-date obscenity law but also ended up defining a new constitutional right to privacy. It brought about the movement for people to personally choose whether or not to use contraception. Birth control and condoms are not unfamiliar terms used today. Although the fight against it has continued, the wide use of it has prevented an end.
