And nor, contrary to Griswold, does any enumerated power exist in the Constitution to prevent the states from outlawing contraception.

That's fine, I have no issue with that. As a Southerner, I recognize and fully embrace the intended rights of the separate and sovereign states under the 10th Amendment. However, I would imagine if the issue arose at the state level, the state legislatures would move to amend their constitutions on issues of personal choice. Unlike abortion, contraception does not infringe upon the rights of another individual

Although I may disagree with your prediction, I will point out that either way it would be more of a legislative issue than a constitutional issue at the state level.

Except, of course, for that category of contraceptives which can or must function as abortifacients.
