“all the participants except for Norma McCorvey”

That’s a pretty big ‘except’.

That’s 50 million children, sir. Are we to think of it as ‘odd’, that just as the oldest Boomers are reaching their mid to late twenties we see Roe?

It makes perfect sense to me. Kill your kids, so you aren’t punished by having a baby.

Norma McCorvey was the useful idiot. She dropped out of high school at 14, and had three children by the time she was 21. Sarah Weddington used her as a prop, lying about the circumstances of her pregnancy (she claimed to have been raped, because in Texas, at the time, abortions were legal in cases of rape or incest.) The Supreme Court had been looking for a reason to overturn abortion laws. Had it not been McCorvey, Weddington would have found someone else.

In 1994, McCorvey became a pro-lifer, and petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Norma McCorvey never had the abortion.

The pro-abortion movement was an outgrowth of the eugenics movement of the early 20th century. After the Nazi holocaust and other crimes came to light, the eugenics movement went underground, only resurfacing after they had donned the new garments of "a woman's right to choose." As a white male, quite a few people feel comfortable sharing their true feelings with me. These feelings are: "Well, abortion's bad, but we have to do something to keep 'those people' from reproducing so much they ruin everything." "Those people" refers to blacks.

We are on the same side concerning abortion, but blaming an ignorant, uneducated woman who was used as a prop by the purveyors of eugenics does not advance our cause. Norma McCorvey is on our side, now. In any event, re the subject of this article, none of the movers and shakers on this were baby boomers.
