The woman known as "Jane Roe" in the landmark Supreme Court abortion case Roe v. Wade was reportedly arrested today at Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's Senate confirmation hearing.
Norma McCorvey is best known for her role in the 1973 court ruling that secured a woman's right to an abortion. Years after the pivotal case, McCorvey recanted her support for abortion rights and became an active anti-abortion demonstrator.

It’s only perjury if you’re conservative. You didn’t get the memo?
Did Norma ever get to see the child she gave up for adoption about 1972?
The list of what the American people don’t know is truly endless.
When women have an abortion, they KNOW they are killing a child, either before, or shortly after - the knowledge sinks in.
From what I’ve seen, most become ardent, vehement “pro-choicers” - spending the rest of their lives justifying what they did as “their right”, and encouraging others to exercise “their right” to do the same, so that they alone aren’t guilty in their “choice”.
There are those, however, like Norma, who repent, and spend the rest of their lives making up for what they did, trying to SAVE lives.
Prayers up for Norma. It takes a lot of courage to repent of such a sin and put the guilt at the foot of the Cross.
Sadly, I’ve seen more of the silent suffering. Rachel’s Vineyard is the recovery program for men and women alike.
We pray for this holocaust to end daily.
Blessings for Norma.

I saw Norma speak in California a few months ago. I don’t remember if she ever saw her child. I do remember that she was positive she had done the right thing to give up the child for adoption. Norma was really messed up with substance abuse for a long time, and is really a “diamond in the rough” sort of person, and did not come across to me as the brightest bulb in the room. I think she probably did the right thing, and that, given the challenges she will always have in her life, prayers that she will always have good and true friends to help her would be most appropriate.
It’s just a total lack of substance beyond their own little daily activities. Many actually think that someone like Obama or Hillary is there to “watch over” them. It’s ludicrous if it weren’t so tragic.
