Norma McCorvey, the woman known as Jane Roe in the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case, has spoken out for the unborn for the first time. In her new book, 'Roe v. Wade: The Woman Behind the Case,' McCorvey shares her personal journey from being a pro-choice advocate to becoming a pro-life activist.

McCorvey's story is a complex one. She was born in 1947 to a poor family in Texas. She was raped at the age of 13, and became pregnant at the age of 15. She sought an abortion, but was denied because she was not married. She gave birth to a daughter, who she gave up for adoption.

In 1970, McCorvey became involved in a lawsuit that would eventually make its way to the Supreme Court. The lawsuit, Roe v. Wade, challenged the Texas law that prohibited abortions. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Roe, and legalized abortion nationwide.

McCorvey initially supported the Roe v. Wade decision. However, she began to have second thoughts about abortion in the 1980s. She became involved in the pro-life movement, and eventually converted to Catholicism. She spent the rest of her life speaking out against abortion.

McCorvey's story is a reminder that the abortion debate is not simply a matter of law, but also a matter of personal experience. McCorvey's own experience of being raped and giving birth to a child she could not keep led her to believe that abortion was wrong.

McCorvey's book is a powerful and moving account of one woman's journey from pro-choice to pro-life. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the abortion debate.

Here are some excerpts from McCorvey's book:

"I was a pro-choice advocate for many years. I believed that women had the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. But after I had my own abortion, I began to have second thoughts. I realized that abortion was not a simple medical procedure. It was the taking of a human life."
"I became involved in the pro-life movement because I wanted to help other women who were facing unplanned pregnancies. I wanted to offer them support and alternatives to abortion."
"I know that abortion is a difficult and personal decision. But I believe that every child has the right to life. I hope that my story will help others to understand the importance of protecting the unborn."

Norma McCorvey's Legacy

Norma McCorvey died in 2017 at the age of 69. She left behind a legacy of fighting for the rights of the unborn. Her story has inspired countless others to speak out against abortion.

McCorvey's book is a powerful reminder that the abortion debate is not simply a matter of law, but also a matter of personal experience. Her story is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the abortion debate.
