  3. Roe v. Wade (1973) Supreme Court ruled (7-2) that a woman had right to choose an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy

  4. Margaret Sanger • coined the term birth control, opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, and established Planned Parenthood. • Intrinsa patch • problems with desire, arousal, achieving orgasm, and genital pain. The patch aims to increase libido in women • RU486 • Abortifacient in the first months of pregnancy, and in smaller doses as an emergency contraceptive • Plan B • “morning-after pill”; taken within three days after sex

  5. Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) Married people are entitled to use contraception and making it a crime to sell to them same is unconstitutional. (A later case, Eisenstadt v. Baird, extended this to unmarried adults.) • Roe v. Wade (1973) Struck down abortion laws restricting abortion prior to “viability”  as unconstitutional, prohibiting most restrictions in the first trimester and permitting only health-related restrictions in the second. • Webster v. Reproductive Health Services (1989) upholding a Missouri law that imposed restrictions on the use of state funds, facilities, and employees in performing, assisting with, or counseling on abortions. The Supreme Court in Webster allowed for states to legislate in an area that had previously been thought to be forbidden under Roe v. Wade. • Gonzales v. Carthart (2007) Held that the Congress can prohibit a specific abortion procedure (intact dilation and extraction - also known as partial-birth abortion) on grounds that it "implicates additional ethical and moral concerns that justify a special prohibition.” • South Dakota’s attempt to ban abortion • In 2006, the Legislature passed the Women's Health and Human Life Protection Act, which would have forbidden abortion under virtually every circumstance WHHLPA was repealed by voters in a referendum.
