Carol Downer, a prominent figure in the feminist women's health movement, passed away on January 13th in Glendale, California. She was 91 years old. Downer gained national recognition for her involvement in the "Great Yogurt Conspiracy," a case where she was accused of practicing medicine without a license for using yogurt to treat a yeast infection.

Downer's daughter, Angela Booth, confirmed her mother's death, stating that she had suffered a heart attack a few weeks prior. In the late 1960s, Downer, a self-described housewife and mother of six, joined the women's movement and became involved in the abortion committee of her local chapter of the National Organization for Women. This involvement stemmed from her own experience with an illegal abortion, which she was determined to prevent others from enduring.

Downer's activism coincided with the development of a safer and less painful abortion technique by psychologist Harvey Karman. This technique involved suctioning the lining of a woman's uterus and was a significant improvement over the traditional dilation and curettage method. Karman used this technique to perform early-term abortions and trained other doctors in its use.
