In Griswold v. Connecticut [1], the Court found the state's law to to be in violation of "right to marital privacy" and deemed right to privacy as right to protection from governmental intrusion. One Justice cited the fifth amendment to get there, another the ninth -- and plenty of legal scholars have argued the ninth amendment basically acts as justification for finding privacy provisions in the Bill of Rights that aren't specifically mentioned in the other eight amendments. You're right that right to privacy is an open question of sorts (especially under the Bill of Rights), but there is nearly a century of case law protecting it in various forms.
