Is it true that Norma McCorvey (aka "Jane Roe") is now anti-abortion and a commited Christian ?
Can the abortionists quote her case anymore ? Would that be dishonest seeing that she would object to her name being used as a pro-abortionist ?

Is an abortionist a "doctor" (one who heals) or a quack who started this more clumsy business because he could not become a doctor ?

Yes, she is a member of the pro-life movement and is a commited Christian. Ms. McCorvey gave birth to her daughter, Melissa, before Roe vs. Wade was ruled upon. She initially stated that Melissa was a product of rape, but recanted her story at a later time. She went on to have two more children. She came out publicly in the 80s not only as Jane Roe, but also as a lesbian. She later became a Christian, renounced her lesbianism and became a leader in the pro-life movement. She tried to have the Supreme Court reexamine Roe v. Wade but they refused her request.

Yes, it's true. She is now anti abortion. I'm sure anyone who is pro-choice can use her case as an example because it's factual history and it happened reguardless of how she feels now. It's not dishonest because she didn't use her real name. I think as long as they use Jane Roe, it's ok. Could be wrong though.
Actually, I didn't even know she was a real person! Great question!

what do you mean, "quote her case"? as an abortionist is a doctor, not a lawyer, I doubt it comes up much.
an abortionist is usually an ob/gyn.

That is true... They can quote her, but she is trying to make sure everyone knows that she's against that now.
