The Prestons defend a doctor, Ernest Montgomery, arrested by the police for performing safe, illegal abortions. Over the course of the episode, Dr. Montgomery reveals that he decided to provide abortions because his daughter died as a result of seeking an abortion from an unsafe provider. He also shares that he turns away more patients than he accepts into his care, and that he broke the law for the purpose of serving as a test case to challenge its legitimacy.
