Norma McCorvey did not live to see the case overturned. But today’s abortion access may more closely resemble the country of her youth than she imagin
In 1998, Norma McCorvey, the “Jane Roe” in the Roe v Wade supreme court decision, testified before a group of senators about the case fought in her name 25 years earlier. “I am dedicated,” she said, “to spending the rest of my life undoing the law that bears my name.”

McCorvey did become an activist against abortion rights, although she wouldn’t live to see Roe, which in 1973 established a right to abortion, overturned. She died on Saturday in Katy, Texas, at the age of 69.

Knowing the end was near, McCorvey gave her friends and fellow activists a mission the day before she died, according to her friend Janet Morana. “She wanted to tell everyone to continue the fight,” said Janet Morana, executive director of Priests for Life.

But while McCorvey died in a country still shaped by the case that bears her pseudonym, the practical realities of abortion access may more closely resemble the country of her youth than she imagined.

Norma lived out her final years with the knowledge she made a mistake.

Many women are told that the human life living inside them is part of them and it's their right as a mother to terminate the pregnancy of the unborn life residing in their womb through abortion, however human beings should never be discriminated against simply because of where they reside.


ALL LIVES MATTER ∴ UNBORN LIVES MATTER

 

Her death didn't change the law, the Constitution, the Supreme Courts decision or the rights of women to their own bodies...or most Americans believing abortion should be legal....

 

One less (*)(*)(*)(*) in the world.

Funny how abortion was fine when SHE wanted one, but then she wanted to deny the right to other women. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

She was a lesbian, so many antichoicers are anti-gay, yet she was fine since they wanted to use her for their cause.

 

Hypocrisy and hate, their watchwords....


I notice the OP never came back to explain his post and why that woman dying helps his cause.......and why the people in the photo are celebrating her death...

 

My understanding is she never had the abortion she so wanted.

 

No ,this very troubled woman was forced to give birth. I still don't see what the OP's point was ...if he had one....

 

Well it wasn't too late after she gave birth. She could've just killed her newborn.

 

No that would be different. Some of us understand the fundamental difference between a baby and an early fetus. I hope you're not one of those heartbeat pro-lifers, who somehow thinks a pump is what makes something a person like those ignorant ancient cultures with no knowledge of physiology.

 

Abortion does not discriminate and that is a very specious basis on which to attempt to overturn RvW.

 

Are YOU advocating murdering newborn babies?? .....Sounds quite sick....

 

Why is it different. And no, I'm not one of those pro lifers. I'm a pro lifer who believes that life begins at conception and we should protect it.

 

No. I'm pointing out the lunacy of the pro abortion crowd. How it's sick to advocate killing newborns but not the unborn?

 

Who is advocating killing newborns? Just YOU in post #7.

Yes , it's sick....why are you doing it?

I notice the OP never came crawling back to explain his post and why that woman dying helps his cause....... Can YOU?

 

The original article is self-explanatory and written at about a 5th grade reading level.

 

No argument there...it looked fifth grade level.........I still don't see what the OP's point was ...if there was one.....

 

Some people make a choice and then change their mind. That's fine as long as they don't try to force their choices on others.

 

If you can't distinguish someone playing devil's advocate from someone who genuinely believes in something then you need to get off the Internet and seek help. As I said, I was only pointing out the hypocrisy of those who support abortion. To suggest that I advocate infant genocide is a complete disconnected accusation of my character and posting habits.

Because I'm not.

Can I what?

 

So post 12 isn't yours? :



""""""""""""""No. I'm pointing out the lunacy of the pro abortion crowd. How it's sick to advocate killing newborns but not the unborn?

How are you playing devil's advocate ?


Post 7 isn't yours? :

"""""""""""Well it wasn't too late after she gave birth. She could've just killed her newborn.

Maccabee, Apr 3, 2017 """"""""""


This was clear: Fox ""I notice the OP never came crawling back to explain his post and why that woman dying helps his cause....... Can YOU?"""


If you don't understand the simple question then maybe you need to seek reading comprehension skills or get off the internet....

 

Ok this was in memoriam.

 

@Maccabee you sure waited a long time to respond to this query.

 

It was in memoriam. An epitaph.

You didn't get that part ??

 

What was lost due to this prego b!tch was the States' rights to decide this on their own for their own state residents.

The SCOTUS went way overboard and off the deep end to find in "personal papers" an issue related to a uterus.

It is bad law, but unfortunately if we ignore law even bad law we become anarchists.

 

No, I sure didn't get the OP :""Roe v Wade: plaintiff's death highlights weakening of abortion rights in US"""

How did her death highlight the weakening of abortion rights?
