As we examine about the impact of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, we can't help but think about Bill Baird. It was Baird's victory against the Supreme Court in the 1972 Eisenstadt v. Baird case that gave all women in the United States — single and married — the right to use and buy contraception. The ruling paved the way for Roe v. Wade.
Over the last half century, Baird was jailed eight times in five states for his activism, giving out contraception and information about preventing and terminating pregnancy. Baird talks to Here & Now's Anthony Brooks.

Also a death sentence for many who can't afford the higher priced motel room procedures that will be returning!

It's a good thing that many of the more responsible corporate entities out there are willing to pay for expenses related to the procedure

Justice Thomas' assent statement to this ruling has also included language that he wants to see SCOTUS "reconsider" the unenumerated right to contraception for any and all. So yeah, they clearly have an agenda to run the bedroom decisions of consenting adults.
