This decision was the answer to a legal dispute against a law in the state of Connecticut that did not allow the citizens in this state to use any birth control and even established penalties for those that used contraceptives. Moreover, this decision made it possible for women to have more control over their bodies and ended biased ideas about contraceptives.
