<P> Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) struck down one of the remaining contraception Comstock laws in Connecticut and Massachusetts . However, Griswold only applied to marital relationships .

Baird (1972) extended its holding to unmarried persons as well . </P> <P> As the chief proprietor of the law, many of Comstock's justifications revolved around the effects that all of the obscene literature would have on children . He argued that the corruption in the schools and in the home were because of all of the obscene literature that the youth had easy access to . He also argued that the vast amounts of "obscenity" would cause for the sanctity of marriage to be corrupted along with the power of the church . Comstock mainly focused on voicing his concerns to families of privilege; this is how he gained a majority of his support . </P> <P> Clinton L. Merrian, who introduced the bill to the House of Representatives played on the idea that obscenity was a direct threat to manhood and that in order to protect the children, obscene materials needed to be confiscated . </P> <P> The Free Love Movement was the only group that had any sustained attempts to repeal the Comstock Laws and discredit anything related to the anti-vice movement .

This made the free - lovers the number one target of Comstock and his crusade against obscenity . </P>
