Sarah Weddington will forever be known as the lead attorney in the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case that allowed virtually unlimited abortions. As she prepares for a speaking engagement in Canada, she told a newspaper that nothing in her legal career tops her involvement in that decision.
Weddington was only 26-years-old when she went to the Supreme Court in 1971 to argue the case that would eventually topple pro-life laws nationwide two years later.
She tells the Vancouver Sun newspaper that, decades later, she can find nothing in her career or life that she realizes she will be remembered for nothing more than her involvement in that case.
"There were some years when I thought, 'How will I trump Roe vs. Wade?' I have finally made peace with the fact that I will never trump it," she said.
Weddington told the newspaper that the first line of her obituary when she dies will highlight her involvement in the case that led to nearly 50 million abortions and the destruction of the lives of millions of women.
The pro-abortion attorney told the Sun she's worried that today's young women don't understand the supposed value of what she did.
She related the story of wearing a button with a coat-hanger and a slash through it -- a symbol of abortion advocates that they don't want abortion illegal again.
A young flight attendant looked at the button over the course of a plane ride and finally asked her its meaning.
"What do you have against coat hangers?" the young woman said.
Weddington told the Sun she hopes one of the pro-abortion Democrats Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama will become president and appoint Supreme Court judges who will promote abortion for another 35 years.
"I do think we really do have a good chance but between now and November, a lot of different things can happen," she said.
Weddington's husband has a legacy of his own, according to papers obtained from Bill Clinton's administration.
That papers reveal that, before he became president, Clinton received a letter from Ron Weddington who urged the then-Arkansas governor to promote RU 486.
Clinton eventually approved the abortion drug before he left office and it has been responsible for killing several women and injuring another 1,200 or more.
Bastardizing the Constitution and destroying a generation by directly causing the MURDER of 50 MILLION innocent Americans is not something to be proud of.

Puts her right up there with Mao, and well ahead of Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler.
I know this is probably un Christian to say, but I’ll say it anyway:
I hope that when this vile person dies and goes to her just reward, that for all eternity the screams of her fellow tortured souls in Hell remind her of the screams of the millions of unborn babies she has helped rip from their mothers’ wombs.
And somewhere in eternity she can chat all about her “great accomplishment” with Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao and others whose “accomplishments” are near equal in blood and death.
I had an uncharitable thought too; but for some reason I then thought, wouldn’t it be cool if she got a taste of that here and now?
Well said. If she dies without salvation, this fate would be most just.
how precious. she's telling you, "you're already forgotten."
My, is she in for a BIG surprise on Judgement day!
Margaret Sanger is responsible for ONE BILLION abortions worldwide in the past century and this monster deserves secondary responsibility for 50 MILLION of these children. Another murderess who cannot be overlooked is Rachel Carson (author of “Silent Spring”) who is responsible for AT LEAST one million deaths per year for over a quarter of a century.
Well, she peaked at age 26 with her work on Roe vs. Wade. How special. She had an impact on society that’s for sure. Now she hopes a Democrat is elected president to appoint more liberal judges to reinforce abortion rights. Again, how special is that.
Judges shouldn’t PROMOTE anything. That isn’t their job. Stalin would love her. Satan will.
well, i don't mean to come off sounding holier than thou, 'cause I'm sure not; but all I can say is, "there but for the grace of God go I."
When I consider the seeming endlessness of my own folly and hubris, I'm glad I wasn't allowed to do more damage than I have.
Oh, I agree. Wonder if the bitch is proud of manipulating Norma and forcing her to lie as well?
