“I know that no state wants to do it, but would a particular state be constitutionally (U.S) precluded from passing such a law?”

Ref. Griswold v. Connecticut (1965)

Thank you my FRiend. For those interested, - good discussion here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griswold_v._Connecticut

It’s not as black and white as you might think:

“Justice Stewart famously called the Connecticut statute “an uncommonly silly law”, but argued that it was nevertheless constitutional.”

“The Griswold line of cases remains controversial, and has drawn accusations of ‘judicial activism’ by many conservatives.”
