Well, "right of privacy" means a lot of different things. The right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures is very different than the "right" to buy contraceptives, or the "right" to buy bubble gum, or the "right" to buy sex toys. I can't remember which state it was that recently banned the sale of sex toys, I think Alabama. And some adult book store owner sued, claiming that the ban violated the constitutional right to possess sex toys. And the 11th Circuit said, no, there is no constitutional right to possess sex toys. It's a stupid law but we can't strike it down. BTW, there are still a lot of contraceptives that you cannot buy. The FDA doesn't let you just buy anything you like, even if you can get it in Europe or Africa or Latin America.
