For those of you who don't know Roe v. Wade, it is a U.S. supreme court case that resulted in the overturning of anti-abortion laws in the U.S. Esentially, the decision overturned all state and federal laws outlawing or restricting abortion that were inconsistent with its holdings. It was a landmark case in which Jane Roe sued the state of Texas for violation of the constitutional right to privacy for not allowing her an abortion after she was raped. Consequently, the court decided that, "a mother may abort her pregnancy for any reason, up until the point at which the fetus becomes ‘viable.’" The Court defined viable as being "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid."
Here's the link to the 'Jane Roe' video. http://www.justonejudge.com/ Click on the Norma McCorvey video, or see below:
Norma McCorvey became a member of the pro-life movement in 1995; she now supports making abortion illegal. In 1998, she testified to Congress:
“It was my pseudonym, Jane Roe, which had been used to create the "right" to abortion out of legal thin air. But Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee never told me that what I was signing would allow women to come up to me 15, 20 years later and say, "Thank you for allowing me to have my five or six abortions. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible." Sarah never mentioned women using abortions as a form of birth control. We talked about truly desperate and needy women, not women already wearing maternity clothes."
