Against all odds, Bill Baird secured a historic “right to privacy” victory with his 1972 Supreme Court case, Eisenstadt v. Baird, which granted all single Americans access to birth control. Bill’s case not only strengthened women’s reproductive self-determination, but it also freed women from the dishonor of being single by eroding the legal emphasis on the “marriage unit.”

Bill Baird was always a fierce defender of individual’s rights, and in the years following his case, Bill warned Americans that the religious right was working to overturn Roe v. Wade by controlling both state and federal legislatures, and the Supreme Court. However, Bill’s highly confrontational “take no bullshit” approach led to a long list of enemies and detractors – including the Catholic Church and famous figures in the Women’s Movement. Hence, Bill’s decades of activism were ignored, forgotten or mostly excluded from history.

Today, at age 92, Baird lives in total obscurity; that is until Jada Portillo, a 16-year-old Latina girl from Arkansas rediscovers him and performs, as Bill, at National History Day competitions across the country. This generational “contraceptive buddy film” chronicles Bill Baird’s historical fights for reproductive rights and follows Jada as her generation now faces the total erosion of their personal liberties.
