Why did the abortion movement cast Roe aside?

The “Roe” of Roe v. Wade is Norma McCorvey, as everyone interested in the issue has probably long known. What’s far less known is how abortion activists used her to get the notorious case through the court system that wound up establishing abortion on demand as law in America. And really haven’t wanted to hear from her since. Especially because she became Christian….and pro-life.

They’re going to hear from her now. She’s just made a tv commercial.

McCorvey, who became pro-life over a decade ago, hopes the commercial will change hearts and minds on abortion.

In the new commercial, produced by the pro-life firm VirtueMedia, McCorvey speaks out against abortion and denounces the limited role she had in the high court case.

She talks about the way activist lawyers used her divorce case to promote their pro-abortion agenda.

“Back in 1973, I was a very confused twenty-one year old with one child and facing an unplanned pregnancy,” she explains in the ad. “At the time I fought to obtain a legal abortion, but truth be told, I have three daughters and never had an abortion.”

After a Christian conversion in 1995, McCorvey began making her newfound pro-life views known.

“Upon knowing God, I realized that my case which legalized abortion on demand, was the biggest mistake of my life,” she said.

McCorvey concludes the public service announcement-style message saying, “You read about me in history books, but now I am dedicated to spreading the truth about preserving the dignity of all human life from natural conception to natural death.”
