"He devoted a few pages to the 1965 Supreme Court case Griswold vs. Connecticut, which overturned the state's right to outlaw birth control. Lader argued that the decision was broad enough to apply to abortion.
"His discussion of the legal history of abortion was repeatedly cited in the majority opinion for Roe vs. Wade. Being footnoted in that landmark decision was, Lader later said, 'one of the things I'm proudest of.'"
The Los Angeles Times runs an obit for Lawrence Lader, the author of the 1966 book Abortion and cofounder of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws.
