Description
The complaints in these four actions
seek declaratory judgments as to the constitutionality
of 53-32 of the General Statutes, prohibiting the
use of any drug, medicinal article or instrument
for the purpose of preventing conception,
[147 Conn. 50]
and 54-196, prohibiting the counseling or abetting
of such use.1 The plaintiff C. Lee Buxton is a
licensed physician. The plaintiff Jane Doe is a married
woman living with her husband. The plaintiffs
Paul and Pauline Poe, as well as the plaintiffs
Harold and Hanna Hoe, are husband and wife. Except
for Dr. Buxton, all the plaintiffs are using, for
the purpose of this litigation, fictitious names.
They are patients of Dr. Buxton. The plaintiffs
claim that the two statutes deprive them of rights
guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution. The defendant demurred to
all the complaints; among his grounds were that
the plaintiffs were seeking declaratory judgments
on legal issues already conclusively determined by
this court and that the passage of time and a
change in the personnel of the court would not
justify a reversal of those determinations. The
trial court sustained the demurrers on these
grounds, and the plaintiffs have appealed.
