Norma McCorvey, Roe v Wade Abortion Case
Interview from 2004 with Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in the Roe v. Wade Supreme court ruling on abortion, who would later have a change of heart and become a pro-life activist.
In an interview recorded in 2004, HARDtalk's Tim Sebastian spoke to Norma McCorvey, who died days ago in the United States. She was better known by the legal pseudonym 'Jane Roe' in the landmark American lawsuit Roe v. Wade in 1973. The case ruling challenged the criminal abortion laws in Texas that ruled abortion was unconstitutional, except in cases where the mother's life was in danger. Later, McCorvey's views on abortion changed substantially after turning to the Roman Catholic faith and becoming an activist in the pro-life movement. So should a change in one's faith be a deciding factor in the overturning of a monumental Supreme Court ruling?
