William F. "Bill" Baird is the founder of the Pro Choice League. Baird established the nation’s first abortion referral center and the first birth control and abortion center on a college campus. He was sent to jail for teaching birth control and distributing abortion literature in New York and New Jersey and sentenced to six months years for his pro-choice activities.[citation needed] Baird's punishment galvanized feminists like Anne Koedt to speak out in his defense.
