Here is something that Roe says now: notice that she states that she wanted an abortion, and that she signed an affidavit to that effect:

>>>>>Roe versus Roe
By Norma McCorvey
Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in the Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion, who is now a pro-life Christian, tells her own story.
In 1969 I got pregnant with my third child. I didn't want to have it, didn't want it in my body. I wanted to kill it. I wanted to have an abortion. I went to an illegal abortion clinic in Dallas. I had $250 of my rent money saved up. There was nobody there.
I went to this attorney and he treated me pretty much like a word I can't say anymore. He said that he just knew of these two young law students who had just graduated- -Sarah Weddington and Linda Kaufman--and they were trying to challenge the Texas statute on abortion.
I didn't have a clue what he was saying (but agreed to meet with them).
The Meeting
We sat and talked and drank beer for the longest time. We got kind of smashed. Then we had pizza. Then we drank some more beer. They started pounding me with all this, "Well, don't you think women should have the right to control their own body?"
They never said anything about -- It's really a baby, Norma. You're going to be killing your baby. Don't you know you're signing an affidavit to execute the next three generations of children to come? They didn't say anything like that.
I didn't have a clue. I was ignorant. I mean, I was dumb! I thought they could help me. Sarah said she was going to call a doctor friend of hers. I knew it wasn't ever going to happen, 'cause I knew she wasn't gonna keep her word. You know things like that.
Off to Court
I gave birth to my third baby June 2, 1970. The baby had been born maybe four months and Sarah called and said she was going to the Supreme Court of the United States and that she wanted to talk to me. -- Would I like to go to Washington--Excuse me, Sarah, but I had the baby. I had my baby, man, and she wasn't there. She said she'd be there. She said she would take care of it. She said everything was going to be okay.
She wasn't there. Things weren't all right. Things got progressively worse and worse. It was smoke pot, drop acid--do anything you could get your hands on. Just stoned. Don't think. Don't eat. Don't act. You don't even have to breathe because it hurts too bad.
It might have been victory for Weddington, Kaufman and all the other pro-aborts, but it was shame for me. The definition for abortion hit me in the face. I could see little babies being pulled out of their mamas, but they were alive. That's what I lived with for the better part of 14 years.
I suddenly realized that it was a child. It wasn't tissue-it wasn't a lump. Plus I had worked in an abortion clinic. And I had seen the freezer of dead babies.
They had wanted to change a law. They said, "Norma, don't you want to exercise your rights by having control over your own body?" "Yes," I said. "Well, all you have to do is sign on the doted line." I signed it, and became "Jane Roe."
That's sad to think the next three generations that come after you are being aborted. That is nothing to be proud of.<<<<<
