The Rutherford Institute in Charlottesville, Va., said Monday that the justices declined to review Jennifer Workman’s case.

Jones of the Guttmacher Institute, also found that more than half (58%) of all pill users rely on the method, at least in part, for purposes other than pregnancy prevention—meaning that only 42% use the pill exclusively for contraceptive reasons.

By Christmas, she had visited the doctor several times with flu-like symptoms, tiredness and joint pain.
