Irish Examiner —
Tributes pour in for Mary 'May' McGee whose Supreme Court case helped end [Ireland's]
contraception ban
She recalled telling the judge: Religion is important, but I still think
we
have a right to live as human beings. We are husband and wife, and we cannot live as brother
and sister.
Mr McGee, equally bluntly, told the court: Id prefer to see her use
contraceptives than be placing flowers on her grave.
The ban was overturned in November 1973.
