Last month, I came across a California case I’d never heard of: People vs. Belous. It involved a doctor convicted in 1967 after referring a young woman to an abortionist. Abortions in the state were illegal at the time except to save a woman’s life

A 22-year-old woman and an abortion doctor from California played key roles in the legal fight that led to Roe vs. Wade, now struck down.
