The correct case is Griswold v. Connecticut. In this case, the Supreme Court struck down a Connecticut law that banned the use of contraceptives, ruling that the law violated the right to privacy within marriage. This landmark decision extended substantive due process to the right to privacy, setting the stage for later cases such as Roe v. Wade, which extended the right to privacy to a woman's decision to have an abortion.
