I can check on the 1965 Delaware state of the law if you would like me to.

Sort of the opposite situation...In Philadelphia (or the suburbs) the
police recently ran a sting operation aimed at pedophiles seeking young
girls over the internet.  When the middle aged man showed up to meet the
supposed 12 year old girl, he was promptly arrested.  When they found a
bottle of viagra in his pocket they surmised that he was going to use the
viagra for intimate purposes with the child.  They therefore charged him
with the attempted commission of a felony with a weapon.  This trial should
be interesting.

ALSBers,

When the US Supreme Court ruled in Griswold v CT in 1965 that state
laws making it a crime to use contraceptives were a violation of the
Constitutional right to privacy and the due process clause of 14th
Amendment, I am wondering how many states made it a crime, like CT
did, to use contraceptives?  It must have been a widespread law, I am
guessing, if CT had such a law.

Also, what prompted these laws?

Please respond privately to me at:
