Did this amendment get challenged by a Supreme Court case? If so, why did it happen?
Yes, in 1965 (Grisworld v. Connecticut), The Supreme Court ruled that a state's ban on the use of contraceptives violated the right to martial privacy.
Estelle Griswold, the executive director of Planned Parenthood League of Connecticut, and Dr. C. Lee Buxton, doctor and professor at Yale Medical School, were arrested and found guilty as accessories to providing illegal contraception. They were fined $100 each. Griswold and Buxton appealed to the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut, claiming that the law violated the Fourteenth and Ninth Amendment
