Norma McCorvey, ‘Roe’ in Roe v. Wade, Is Dead at 69

Norma McCorvey, the anonymous plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in the United States, reshaping the nation’s social and political landscapes and inflaming one of the most divisive controversies of the past half-century, died on Saturday in Katy, Tex. She was 69.

Ms. McCorvey died of heart failure in an assisted-living home, said Joshua Prager, a New York journalist who has written about her for Vanity Fair and is working on a book about the Roe v. Wade decision.

In the year 2000, I met the lawyers from The Justice Foundation, Allan Parker and Clayton Trotter who are here behind me. I asked them to help me to reverse Roe v. Wade legally. We began collecting evidence from women about the devastating consequences of abortion in their lives. Women are very reluctant to speak about this horrible act which is a crime against humanity. In many cases the denial goes on for decades before they break. Women who have had an abortion often can't even tell their husbands, parents, family, friends or even their physicians or clergy. It is like a time bomb in the heart of every woman who's had an abortion.

Eventually we collected almost 1,500 affidavits and filed a motion to reverse Roe v. Wade. As part of my statement to you today, I am enclosing summaries of those women's affidavits along with pictures of some of the women so you can see what abortion does to real women. I am also going to file copies of all the affidavits collected. Also behind me today are some of those witnesses whose affidavits were before the Supreme Court and I would like to ask them to stand at this time.

These women hurt by abortion have formed a movement they call Operation Outcry to cry out to you, to the courts and to God Almighty to end this scourge of abortion in our nation. The Rev. Martin Luther King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference helped lead America non-violently to end the scourge of segregation. When slavery was constitutional, we treated one class of humans as property. We are treating the humans in the mother's womb as property and less than human when we say it is OK to kill them. How can we have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, when we have death by abortion? I have also included an essay on the Scott Peterson double-murder conviction which asks how one baby is a person that can be murdered but not another.

On February 22, 2005, the Supreme Court declined to take my case. I was good enough for the courts when they wanted to impose abortion on America, but I wasn't good enough when I asked them to look at the hard evidence of what they have done to America. The Supreme Court of the United States should be ashamed of itself. It has taken this matter of abortion away from the states, the people, and the legislatures, but it refuses to look at the evidence of what it has done. How shameful is that? How can we have liberty without life? Every member of the Supreme Court who supports Roe should be impeached and I believe we should to limit the terms of Supreme Court justices to 8 years. The Supreme Court has hurt me and millions of women and children.

I urge you to do everything in your power to reverse Roe v. Wade. Since the Supreme Court did not reject our arguments, we are continuing to bring those arguments before the court in case after case after case, including Sandra Cano's case which is in the courts now. Please do not ask a judicial nominee to pledge to maintain Roe v. Wade. If new evidence comes before the court, then the court should be willing change its old precedent, as it has many times. Roe v. Wade is not in the Constitution. It is just a bad Supreme Court decision with bad effects and needs to be reversed. I also support a constitutional amendment to protect all human life. I am also attaching a copy of my 13-page affidavit which was filed in our lawsuit to reverse Roe v. Wade. Some things should never be allowed, even if we want to do them. Murder is one, child abuse is another and allowing abortionists to harm women is another. Thank you, Senators. (Emphasis mine)

She even tried to reverse the ruling because she changed her mind.

1973 United States Supreme Court

“The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint
but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear,
carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails
and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.”
~ C. S. Lewis

60+ MILLION Children have been dismembered while alive since Roe.

“....I don’t believe in abortion even in an extreme situation. If the woman is impregnated by a rapist, it’s still a child. You’re not to act as your own God,”’

Well said, Norma McCorvey!

[Mrs. Don-o]

Actually, technically, Norma McCorvey did not perjure herself: she was lied about by her lawyers. She in fact did not even want an abortion. The feminist fiends, especially Sarah Weddington, just glommed onto her situation, crafted a narrative, used her name, and wrote up all the briefs with Norma having little or no personal input.

So much for the feminist belief in women's moral integrity and "choice".

I had the privilege of giving Norma a hug back at a pro-life even in NYC in June 2001. RIP Norma.

She was 69. Ms. McCorvey died of heart failure in an assisted-living home...

Sounds like the woman had some serious health problems to be in assisted-living so young. Perhaps her early passing is a blessing, in that she's no longer in pain.

Can’t blame one person for a whole country’s turning away from God

We see how sad and pathetic man becomes, the folly and error he mires in, when he turns to his own wisdom, and away from God.

Our society has been on a downward slope for more than a hundred years, tracking with our rationalization of sin.

Tragically, Norma was brainwashed by the attorneys into assuming the role of “Roe”. She was 21, pregnant and very confused. “WADE” was the Texas Lawyer, a great man, who fought against the evil of abortion. “ROE” (Norma) was just a pawn in the game. “ROE” won, but later Norma became fully pro-life. “ROE” never did have an abortion. She gave her baby up for adoption.

She gave birth to a girl who is very much pro life today.

I never knew Norma had a daughter, and pro-life to boot. That's wonderful. May Norma rest in peace.
