		McCorvey's former allies in the abortion-rights camp say her views -- and what they say was merely her symbolic role as the plaintiff in the historic lawsuit -- are small change compared with the legal precedent of a woman's right to an abortion.
		McCorvey, who has never had an abortion, said it took three years to compile the personal affidavits and thousands of pages of exhibits supporting her lawsuit's contention that new evidence has come to light since the Roe decision, showing that an abortion is harmful to a woman's physical and mental health.

	[No title]
		It is the story of Norma McCorvey, internationally known as “Jane Roe” the central figure in the infamous case of “Roe versus Wade,” which was instrumental in changing the United States law and giving women virtually abortion on demand.
		Norma believes that her conversion from being pro-abortion to being pro-life was an act of God and, having read it, I cannot but agree with her.
		As far as I can gather, Norma was a “practical atheist.” Religion does not appear to have any influence on her and her reaction to abortion at that time was simply what any woman would/should feel at the sight of the murder of a baby.

		Wade will be quite different for Norma McCorvey from that day in 1973 when she first learned of the Supreme Court decision.

When she finally did, trying to join forces with feminist leaders in the abortion fight, she says she found herself an outcast by most of them, an unpredictable embarrassment to those she called the "Ivy League" feminists.

		Norma McCorvey, aka Jane Roe, filed suit last summer in Dallas County against District Attorney Bill Hill – successor several-times-removed to original Roe defendant Henry Wade – to have her case reopened.
		McCorvey's case was tossed this time around because she had no "live 'legal' controversy" to offer the court, yet McCorvey does have "serious and substantial" evidence that could have "generated an important debate over factual premises that underlay Roe," Jones wrote.
		McCorvey offered the court "about a thousand" affidavits from women who've had abortions and claim to suffer "long-term emotional damage and impaired relationships from their decision," she added, and also presented evidence suggesting that women are "herded" through the procedure with "little or no medical or emotional counseling."

		Allred's credits were her efforts to prevent Norma from drinking before she would appear on television and her discouragement of the insecure woman's narcotic indulgences.
		Obviously Norma's story would be inchoate without a portion devoted to the horrors of the abortion trade, and from her days as an insider she possesses an armamentarium that far surpasses most right-to-life advocates.
