Griswold v. Connecticut first established and guaranteed the `right of
privacy' in the conjugal act. Sexual love, however, in a most profound
way is anything but `private.' Its very purpose is to break the bonds
of privacy by physical consummation of an unreserved gift of self. The
contraceptive, however, denies the meaning of marital love by falsifying
its bodily expression. Love is no longer unreserved; something is held
back. `I cannot love all of you,' the contraceptive says, `because I
cannot love all that might be created by you.'

Parenthood pamphlet
