As the plaintiff in that infamous Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade, my life has been inextricably tied to the abortion issue. I once told a reporter, "This issue is the only thing I live for. I live, eat, breathe, think everything about abortion." Thirty-four years later, I am 100% pro-life. The Supreme Court's recent decision to uphold the federal ban on partial-birth abortion is the first step in overturning Roe vs. Wade. Banning the procedure - an act of infanticide where a scissors is jammed into the base of the infant's skull, a tube inserted and its brain sucked...

SPEARFISH - Throughout Norma McCorvey's life she has been struggling. Whether it was with alcoholism or coming to grips with abortion, she has fought all the way. The 22-year-old McCorvey was homeless, destitute and unwed when she found herself pregnant for the second time in 1969. Thinking she had only one option, she went to an illegal Dallas abortion clinic but was turned away. The abortionists had been raided just weeks before and would not terminate her pregnancy. While talking with an adoption lawyer, McCorvey was introduced to two young attorneys looking for a woman to sign on for a...

Roe no more, but still a voice on abortion Norma McCorvey resurfaces on other side of issue that has defined her life By THOMAS KOROSEC Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle Dallas Bureau DALLAS -- Norma McCorvey is just one woman with an opinion about abortion.

In 1973, McCorvey was the identity-shielded Jane Roe of the landmark Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion. Years later, after her much-publicized conversion to Christianity in 1995, she started...

A decision built on deceit? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: June 23, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 Creators Syndicate, Inc. Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that created a woman's right to an abortion, was the most controversial of the last century. It divides us yet. Any nominee to a federal appellate court or the Supreme Court who does not swear allegiance to Roe is disqualified in the eyes of the Democratic Party. To Democrats, ensuring a woman's right to abort her child has become a tenet of their party, a reason for its existence, an article of their faith....

The woman known as "Roe" in the historic Supreme Court case that legalized abortion is filing a motion in federal court today to overturn the 1973 decision. The Roe v.

Parker, Jr., lead attorney for the San Antonio, Texas-based Justice Foundation. Norma McCorvey Parker is representing the former "Jane Roe," Norma McCorvey, who has the right to petition for reopening the case because she was party to the original litigation. McCorvey announced in 1995 she...
