I’m sure some people have already seen this, but I never had until today. Norma McCorvey, a.k.a. “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade, has a sworn affidavit about her actual involvement in the case. Essentially, she was used by 2 lawyers who were eager to legalize abortion. The case was decided without Norma ever testifying, without her real knowledge of the issues at stake, and she never even read the sworn affidavit used in court. In fact, she only met with the 2 lawyers twice. They even claimed she was raped (which she wasn’t).
Here’s a sample from the later affidavit explaining her experiences.
As the class action plaintiff in the most controversial U.S. Supreme Court case of the twentieth century, I only met with the attorneys twice. Once over pizza and beer, when I was told that my baby was only “tissue”. The other time at Coffee’s office to sign the affidavit. No other personal contacts. I was never invited into court. I never testified. I was never present before any court on any level, and I was never at any hearing on my case.
The entire case was an abstraction. The facts about abortion were never heard. Totally excluded from every aspect and every issue of the case, I found out about the decision from the newspaper just like the rest of the country. In a way my exclusion, and the exclusion of real meaningful findings of fact in Roe v. Wade, is symbolic of the way the women of the nation and their experiences with abortion have been ignored in a national debate by the abortion industry. It is what the abortion industry thinks is good for women which is presented. Not the reality of their experiences.
Read the entire affidavit. It’s very interesting and worth it. Go figure, the entire case is based on lies and deception.

UPDATE: On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, there’s a lot of blog chatter about it. Here are some links.
- Justin Taylor has compiled a good list.
- Randy Alcorn has an interesting profile on Peter Singer, one of the most pro-abortion people ever.
- John Ensor (guest post on Challies.com) with some good perspective on why abortion is unthinkable to anyone who’s actually considered it’s moral implications.
- Rachel Motte at the Evangelical Outpost with some encouragement in the midst of having a President committed to FOCA.
- Finally, having just experienced the birth of my first child a little over 6 weeks ago, this video really got to me. Children truly are a gift from the Lord and this makes me treasure Seth even more.
It’s amazing the way some people think. A couple in Portland, Oregon is suing their doctor because he failed to conclude their unborn child may have Down Syndrome, and the child was born. Now, the couple is suing for $14 Million for the healthcare, education, speech and physical therapy that will be involved in raising their now 2-year-old daughter.
