The History of Legal Abortion in The USA
|
Based on *Lies and Fraud* Norma McCorvey was the "Jane Roe" of Roe V. Wade
Early in 1970 Norma McCorvey claimed that she had been gang-raped and became pregnant. Attorneys Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee, newly graduated from the University of Texas Law School, needed a "client" in order to challenge Texas' 100-year old law that banned abortions. They convinced Norma that she should be seeking an abortion instead of arranging an adoption for her child.

The case was subsequently argued all the way to the Supreme Court which resulted in legalizing abortion in all 50 American states in 1973. In the meantime, the baby was born and released for adoption. In 1987, McCorvey admitted that she had not been gang-raped at all but the father was someone she knew and thought she loved. The story of the gang-rape was a lie.
While Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, on the same date, Doe v. Bolton provided for abortion-on-demand for the entire nine months of pregnancy and was the legal vehicle which provided Court sanction for the over 4000 abortion mills across the United States.
Sandra Cano was "Mary Doe" of Doe V. Bolton
Sandra Cano said that she was an unwitting participant in fraud on the highest court in the land. Sandra was a young expectant mother with three children facing a divorce from a husband who was in jail for child molestation. Cano's three children had been taken from her by family service workers. They were being shunted from one bad environment to another. Cano loved her children dearly. She was almost insane with grief when she turned to Legal Aid Services for help. The offer of lawyers to take the whole mess off her hands, obtain a divorce and regain custody of her children sounded too good to be true.
When the attorneys hinted that they would like to strike a deal which would include aborting the child Sandra was carrying she made it very clear that she could never do that. Yet, her attorneys ignored her objections and ran roughshod over her. When she realized her case had been used to obtain abortion-on-demand she said, "Why would I stretch my imagination to include a plan so bizarre that it would give people in a civilized society permission to kill their own babies? I surely never thought they would tie my personal anxieties about retrieving my children to a scheme to make abortion-on-demand legal." Ironically, the Cano baby, like the McCorvey baby, was carried to term and relinquished for adoption. Yet more than 30,000,000 other American babies have lost their lives to abortion because of these two cases.
Sarah Weddington was the Attorney
Sarah Weddinton, the attorney who argued Roe v. Wade before the U.S. Supreme Court, gave a speech at the Education Ethics Institute in Oklahoma. She explained why she defended the sketchy story and false rape charges of a Texas waitress "Jane Roe" all the way to the Supreme Court. "My behavior may not have been totally ethical. But I did it for what I thought were the right reasons." Tulsa World 5/24/93.
Playboy Provided the Funding
Hugh Heffner, founder of Playboy claimed to have done one great thing for the American women: "Playboy probably had more to do than any other company with Roe v. Wade. We supplied the money for those early cases and actually worte the amicus curiae for Roe."
Roe No More
On June 15, 1998, Norma McCorvey announced her conversion to Catholicism. "Miss Norma," as she likes to be called spoke at a Human Life International (the world's largest pro-life and pro-family educational organization around the world) convention in Houston in April 1998 and 2,000 attendees during that event had the opportunity to be moved by the compelling story of how she was miscued by the abortion industry.
McCorvey attributes a number of things that led to her conversion, including the "peaceful, prayerful and persistent Catholic presence at abortion mills." Through her new ministry, McCorvey plans to travel and speak extensively about the help and counseling services available to aborted women, and to those considering or being pressured into an abortion.
