Norma McCorvey was pregnant. Her baby was unplanned and unwanted. In the midst of this crisis, two lawyers working for the cause of abortion approached her. The lawyers wanted to bring an suit aginst the state of Texas, hoping to find a case that would find its way to the Supreme Court and overturn any restrictions on abortion.
Because killing babies goes against the conscience of most people, they needed to make her case look as pitiful as possible. Therefore, they convinced Norma to lie and say she was raped.
She signed the affadavit, Jane Roe.
Based on the lie of a desperate young woman, these lawyers took Norma’s case all the way to the Supreme Court, legalizing abortion in this country.
The country was shocked, to put it mildly. Murdering children seemed so far outside the thinking of most people that no one took the case seriously.
Over 30 years later, Norma is a Christian and pro-life. The same lawyers and courts that so vehmenently fought for her “rights” then won’t give her the time of day, now. They were always more interested in their agenda than the truth, anyway.
Now this is the reality our country lives in. Killing babies is seen as a right by most of the country (how could the Supreme Court be wrong?), even though more than half are morally opposed to it and most see it as wrong on some level.
This disregard for life does not occur in a vacuum. It has its own consequences.
Peace.
