Question: Even though this question has been asked and answered previously, please provide a new and different response: Roberta Nelson and Maurice Williams are married couples

Even though this question has been asked and answered previously, please provide a new and different response:

Roberta Nelson and Maurice Williams are married couples who would like to use contraceptives for family planning purposes. However, the use and purchase of contraceptives are prohibited by the criminal laws of the state of Connecticut. On the other hand, contraceptive devices of various kinds are sold openly in Connecticut state pharmacies. The state has not prosecuted anyone for violating this law for more than thirty years. The plaintiffs have brought suit against Connecticut state Attorney General Gerard Collins, challenging the constitutionality of the state's birth control ban and seeking an injunction barring its enforcement. Do they have Article III standing?

Since this is a hard case, please help me with an IRAC including arguments for each side.
