‘After graduating, Weddington found it difficult to find a job with a law firm. She instead joined a group of graduate students at University of Texas-Austin that were researching ways to challenge various anti-abortion statutes. After deciding that a woman should helm a lawsuit to challenge Texas’ statute, Weddington volunteered.
Soon after, a pregnant woman named Norma McCorvey visited a local attorney seeking an abortion. The attorney instead assisted McCorvey with handing over her child for adoption, and after doing so, referred McCorvey to Weddington and Linda Coffee’

Well, Norma’s story conflicts with Weddington’s Wikipedia page. But I suspect that those who edit Wikipedia have an agenda. Weddington had gone to have an abortion in Mexico in 1967 (according to Wikipedia) and was looking for a woman to use, to bring about a case for abortion in the USA. I bet the Left is just really proud of Weddington!

The dirty little secret here is that they had to keep Norma McCorvey pregnant all along because when the case went to trial they had to say under oath that Jane Doe was indeed pregnant. Weddington could have sent McCorvey to Mexico for an abortion but that is why she didn’t. After the trial was over Weddington treated McCorvey like dirt and would avoid her like the plague at pro choice rallies.
