Bolton before the U.S. Supreme Court.Hames was born in Milton, Tennessee to a poor rural family. As a schoolgirl, Hames encountered a schoolteacher who stated that the only acceptable time for an abortion was “when a black man raped a white woman."

In 1969, after the birth of her two children, Hames started volunteer work for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The Ford Foundation had funded this project with the goal of preventing confrontations between civil rights demonstrators and law enforcement.In 1970. the American Civil Liberties Union and the Georgia Legal Aid Society hired Hames to contest a 1968 abortion law in Georgia.
