Admittedly I knew Roe vs. Wade only as the decision legalizing abortion. I have never known anything about "Roe" or "Wade." The following are statements from Norma McCorvey, She was a poor, young mother in 1969, pregnant and looking for a way out. Two young lawyers used her for their benefit. Ultimately, leading her on a road of aweful discovery of the realities, lies and girls inside the abortion industry.
In 2000, she made an official statement regarding the truth behind Roe vs. Wade. Below are some excerpts. See the whole affidavit here.
My name is Norma McCorvey, and I reside in Dallas, Texas. I was the woman designated as "Jane Roe" as plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, the United States Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States. On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that it was unconstitutional for my state to prohibit doctors from performing abortions.
Weddington and Coffee presented the affidavit for my signature at Coffee's office. I told them that I trusted them and that I did not need to read the affidavit before I signed it. I never read the affidavit before signing it and do not, to this very day, know what is written in the affidavit.
I only met with the attorneys twice. Once over pizza and beer. I had never read the affidavit and I did not know what an abortion was. I found out about the decision from the newspaper just like the rest of the country.
In retrospect, I was exploited by two self-interested attorneys. Worse, the courts, without looking into my true circumstances and taking the time to decide the real impact abortion would have upon women, I feel they used me to justify legalization of terminating the lives over thirty-five million babies.
At that time, I didn't know their full intent. Only that they wanted to make abortion legal and they thought I'd be a good plaintiff. I came for the food, and they led me to believe that they could help me get an abortion.
I obviously advocated legalized abortion for many years following Roe v. Wade. But working in the abortion clinics forced me to accept what abortion is. It is a violent act which kills human beings and destroys the peace and the real interests of the mothers involved.
It seems appropriate to bring this up considering how much ink has and will be spilt on Obama's abortion policies. Life and humanity are never above our pay grade. Let us not be librial in our definition of life. No one can claim certianity of when life begins. So let us error on the side of life.
