(CNSNews.com) - The bitter cold in the nation's capital Tuesday did not deter a pro-life activist whose landmark court case led to the legalization of abortion in the United States 32 years ago.
Standing outside the U.S. Supreme Court, 57-year-old Norma McCorvey was accompanied by about 35 people -- some with personal experiences with abortion, and others who are lawyers backing McCorvey's request for the high court to reverse Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that made abortion legal.
McCorvey was identified as "Jane Roe" in that controversial case, but for the last decade has charged that she was deceived and manipulated by abortion proponents who needed a test case to challenge the prevailing law at the time. Despite the fact that her case ended up serving as the legal justification for abortion, McCorvey did not abort her own child.
"America is slowly dying of a holocaust of abortion that began with Roe vs. Wade," McCorvey said Tuesday. She said her experience working in abortion clinics in the 1990s and her conversion to Christianity in 1995 made her regret the part she played in making abortion legal.
"I began to see the abuse of abortion," McCorvey said. "I saw women crying." Saturday, Jan. 22 will mark the 32nd anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision and McCorvey said she believes the intervening years have proved that abortion hurts women.

Just wait for so-called Jewish leaders to decry the use of the term
"Women are crying". It's so much simpler than that. Culture of life vs. culture of death. The "choice" is clear.
Bump for life
As I recall, the baby in the Roe v. Wade case (not actually aborted, btw) was a girl who later grew up to be pro-life too. Any word on her?
Remember, these "Jews" are in name only. Reform Jews are marrying off, getting ol in Palm Beach and having abortions and hopefully within 25 years we will be rid of them entirely.
