birth control activism was an important cause in the 1930s. in 1936, margaret sanger helped bring the case of "united states v. one package" to the u.s. circuit court of appeals. the decision in that case allowed physicians to legally mail birth control devices and information; however, it applied only to new york, connecticut, and vermont; birth control did not become legal for married couples throughout the united states until the 1965 supreme court decision griswold v. connecticut, and did not become legal for unmarried couples throughout the united states until the 1972 supreme court decision eisenstadt v. baird. in 1937, the american medical association officially recognized birth control as an integral part of medical practice and education, and north carolina became the first state to recognize birth control as a public health measure and to provide contraceptive services to indigent mothers through its public health program.
