In case you didn't know, or knew but had simply forgotten, "Griswold" is Griswold v. Connecticut, a 1965 U.S. Supreme Court case in which the majority of the court held that the state of Connecticut couldn't prevent a medical doctor from providing contraception to a married couple. Justice William O. Douglas, writing for the majority, explained that within the framework of the Bill of Rights exists a Constitutional right to privacy for individuals, justifying the Court's decision.
Griswold was the primary precedent for, among other decisions, Roe v. Wade.
