Rick Santorum has brought up 1965’s Griswold vs. Connecticut landmark case during his campaign in New Hampshire. He believed that the Supreme Court was wrong in its decided on the two landmark cases because the Constitution didn’t have a privacy right.

Romney seemed annoyed by the persistence of the questioning and at the same time gave out the idea that he didn’t know anything about issue. He asked whether the Supreme Court has decided that states do not have the right to ban contraception.

Stephanopoulos said that it did in 1965 Griswold vs. Connecticut. Romney then lectured about how Americans have the right to amend the Constitution and he would want to amend it to ban same-sex marriage. With regards to contraception, he said that it is fine and should be left alone.
