Massachusetts Supreme Court rules contraceptive display ban unconstitutional
The Massachusetts Supreme Court held that displaying contraceptive devices is protected by the First Amendment as free speech, while upholding the law against selling or giving away contraceptives. The ruling stems from William Baird's 1967 Boston University demonstration and invitation to arrest, involving about 2,000 students. The decision notes the maximum penalty is five years in prison or a $4,000 fine.
