MI HR0247

Affirms the 1965 Supreme Court case Griswold v. Connecticut was correctly decided in establishing a constitutional right to marital privacy and access to birth control.

Recognizes birth control access as foundational to gender equality, citing CDC data showing family planning led to increased women's education, labor force participation, and earnings with reduced wage gaps.

Notes unplanned pregnancies are associated with adverse health outcomes including reduced prenatal care, increased postpartum depression, preterm birth, and low birthweight.

Emphasizes the decision correctly protected fundamental constitutional rights to privacy and bodily integrity against state government infringement.
