Norma McCorvey a.k.a. "Jane Roe" has been pro-life since 1995. Her transformation was downplayed by the media. When she made her change-over, Norma was villianized and deemed psychologically unstable by rabid pro-choice supporters. She wrote a book, "Won By Love" that describes her journey to the other side. Did anyone remember this event?

I hear she also tried to get Roe overturned.
(Psst--Roe is actually unconstitutional.)

Norma McCorvey's story is very well known and has been covered extensively by the media. I have not seen her villianized and deemed psychologically unstable by pro-choice supporters.

So, raising the child she didn't want didn't make her regret her fight for the right to have an abortion, going public as "Roe" in the 80s (when the child was in her tweens) didn't make her change her mind, her book deal in the ninties didn't show her the light, but conversion to Catholicism made her realize her 22 year old daughter was precious....
give me a break. Sounds like she's a PERFECT example of why abortion should stay legal!!

Yes, and so is Doe from DOE v. BOLTON case.
She didn't even know what was going on. She flead from Georgia to Oklahoma to prevent a forcible abortion. She never sought one in the first place. But an ACLU Lawyer used her as a Jane Doe and filed a lawsuit. She didn't even know that she was the plaintiff in the case! She found out years later and has been working with Norma McCorvey trying to get those decisions reverced!
The cases that legalised abortion were all based on lies. In the Roe case, Norma sought an council because she couldn't get an abortion in Texas. Her left wing feminist lawyer told her she didn't know where she could get one. She lied. She just had one in Mexico! And she wanted to bring Abortion to the US.

Yes, and that the foundered of the number 1 abortion advocate (i.e. Planned Parenthood) saw abortion as a means to exterminate the Blacks.
If you doubt, Google Margaret Sanger.

So what? Just because she had a personal change of heart doesn't make Roe v. Wade wrong. The government still shouldn't EVER be able to tell a woman what to do with her body, or make decisions for her. After all women have done to gain equal rights, now they want this very personl right taken away? Doesn't make sense for all you feminist pro-lifers. Not to mention the fact that only a dictator would tell someone what to do. NOBODY will tell me what to do with my body or anything that happens within it, and NOBODY ever will.

Yes actually I do know that. You would think that would speak a little louder to those considering it.
I would like to ask her if she feels better converting? But I knwo she feels alot of pin for what she has done already

Yes I knew. It is so sad. She herself states she will live with her decision, which was all but coerced, as the worst decision of her life.
If it were not so sad and tragic, it would be laughable, a woman having the right to commit murder, because she has rights with her body.

Yes, I knew that. She tried to get the USSC to re-hear the case a couple of years ago, but they told her no.

I don't know where you're from, but it was pretty big news when it happened. It doesn't really matter though, because when she filed the case it was her choice, just as it was her choice to change her stand. Hopefully you see that the key statement in this opinion is "her choice".

Yeah, I know she is. So what? I don't ever intend on having an abortion, and people with a good throrough sex education and affordable access to birth control won't have them either. (You can take your abstinence education and shove it!) But, I don't like the idea of anyone legislating my body, period.
