The Facts of Griswold v. Connecticut:
A Connecticut state law made the use of contraceptives a criminal offense. The
director and medical director of the local Planned Parenthood were prosecuted
and convicted under the law as violating the law by giving information,
instruction and advice to married persons as to the means of preventing
conception. The decision was upheld by the Appellate Division of the Circuit
Court and affirmed by the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut. It was
appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
