...woman lawyer and willing to do the case for free. We found a 1965 Supreme Court case overturning a Connecticut law making it a crime to use birth control, as well as cases in other states challenging antiabortion statutes.

The American Medical Association guidelines state that women who have been sexually abused should be counseled about the risk of pregnancy and offered EC.
