Baird was arrested and convicted as a felon, facing up to ten years in jail. He spent three months in Boston's Charles Street Jail. During his challenge to the Massachusetts law, the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts stated that`` there is nothing to be gained by court action of this kind. The only way to remove the limitations remaining in the law is through the legislative process.'' Despite this opposition, Baird fought for five years until Eisenstadt v.

Wade and the 2003 gay rights victory Lawrence v. Texas.
