Here's a paper in the J. of Women's health that brings us up to date on contraception law in the U.S.
The Right to Contraception Act: A Present-Day Imperative, by Eli Y. Adashi, Daniel P. O’Mahony, and I. Glenn Cohen, Journal of Women's Health, published online Dec 2024
"For nearly 60 years, the right to contraception was deemed a constitutional right secure by dint of the landmark 1965 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Griswold v. Connecticut.1 The court found unconstitutional a Connecticut law declaring that “[a]ny person who uses any drug, medicinal article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception shall be fined not less than fifty dollars or imprisoned not less than sixty days nor more than one year or be both fined and imprisoned,” as well as aiding and abetting that act, as applied to a physician and professor who “gave information, instruction, and medical advice to married persons as to the means of preventing conception.”1 In so doing, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the protection afforded by the U.S. Constitution to the “right to marital privacy” and thus to the liberty of married couples to deploy contraceptives absent governmental restriction.1 Seven years later, in Eisenstadt v. Baird, the U.S. Supreme Court extended the constitutional protections of Griswold v. Connecticut to unmarried couples.2
"More recently, however, in 2022, doubts have arisen as to the durability of the Griswold v. Connecticut precedent. Specifically, in his concurring opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Justice Clarence Thomas urged that “in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.”3 It is with an eye to protecting against potential reversal of the right to use contraceptives, especially those viewed by some antiabortion advocates as abortifacients, that congressional Democrats saw to the introduction of the Right to Contraception Act.4,5

"All indications are that the Right to Contraception Act is unlikely to advance in the current divided Congress. While some states saw to the establishment of legal or constitutional measures with an eye toward protecting the right to contraception, the trend was hardly uniform. A relevant health care bill in Missouri remains unenacted.7 Uniform Republican opposition to the right to contraception has been underway for some time in Arizona as well.7 Comparable legislation proposed in the Democratic-controlled Virginia legislature by Sen. Ghazala Hashmi (D-Richmond) and Del. Cia Price (D-Newport News) was vetoed by Governor Glenn A. Youngkin.7 A house divided has yet to reunite in the spirit of Griswold v. Connecticut."
