We could end the love affair with Row v Wade if President Bush on his last State of the Union introduced her to podium as the Roe in Roe v Wade and let her have the megaphone for just 5 minutes. She is now the Rosa Parks of the great evil of abortion
She is not the first to bear such a burden, but she is forgiven. This guy was no saint in his youth:
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.
The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures.
BUMP for that excellent idea!
Sarah Weddington, longtime advocate for women, and the daughter of a Methodist preacher, who herself had an abortion at age 22 in Mexico.

Weddington was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1972 (where former Texas Governor Ann Richards was her administrative assistant) and was re-elected twice; she was the first woman elected to represent Austin, Texas, in the Texas House of Representatives.
She resigned her seat in 1977 when she was appointed General Counsel for the United States Department of Agriculture, the first woman to hold that position. The following year she became a special White House advisor to President Jimmy Carter. During her time as assistant to Carter, she helped appoint Ruth Bader Ginsburg to a federal judgeship.
She later founded the Weddington Center. She wrote the book, A Question of Choice, detailing the Roe v. Wade case.
Currently, Weddington is an Adjunct Professor at The University of Texas at Austin and travels the world delivering speeches on leadership, her experiences with breast cancer and women’s issues. She is working on a book on the topic of leadership.

Norma McCorvey, the case's Jane Roe, is now against abortion
Changing sides
Norma McCorvey announced in 1987 that her rape testimony in 1969 had been false.
Norma McCorvey, the case's Jane Roe, is now against abortion Now a born-again Christian, she converted to the pro-life lobby, and two years later Sandra Bensing followed suit.
But Ms McCorvey's attorney, Sarah Weddington, insists that the rape testimony was not a factor in the Roe verdict, and that her decision to change sides has no bearing on the ruling.
> No matter what, she has a lot to answer for... as does
> Ted Kennedy et al.
She gave her heart to Jesus.
She is forgiven and redeemed.
If you take the time to read her entire story, you will find that she was used as a pawn by the cynical jackals in the ACLU and the wing of NOW what later became NARAL.
I wonder if, in the dark of night, as Sarah Weddington fights for her health & life...
...does the burden of 50 million souls weigh on her conscience?

The author of this editorial is Norma McCorvey, she was "Jane Roe" in Roe v. Wade and she is now 100% pro-life!
It’s a good and brave thing she’s doing.
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
It’s a shame women don’t realize both cases were based on lies.
PRESS ADVISORY
“Doe” of Doe v. Bolton and 180 women hurt by abortion
speak about “PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION” case
San Antonio, TX – Sandra Cano, who was “Mary Doe” of Doe v. Bolton, joined by 180 women hurt by abortion, has asked the Supreme Court in an amicus brief to uphold the federal ban on killing a child during delivery, known as partial birth abortion procedure.
On November 8, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments in Gonzalez v. Carhart, the partial birth abortion case. The Justice Foundation represents Sandra Cano, the original plaintiff in Doe v. Bolton, the companion case to Roe v. Wade. The landmark ruling in the Doe case created the “health exception” that is at the heart of the partial birth abortion case now before the Supreme Court.
Sandra Cano said, “I never wanted or sought an abortion. I desire with all of my heart to see the Supreme Court reverse Roe v. Wade and my own case, Doe v. Bolton.” See Sandra’s testimony before the U.S. Judiciary Committee.
The amicus brief has the unique perspective of 180 women hurt by abortion showing the many devastating effects of abortion on women and that abortion endangers “their physical, emotional, and psychological health.” Therefore, the law banning on partial birth abortion, which does not include a health exception, should be upheld. Read amicus brief:

You are entitled to your opinion.
I do not judge her, but God will, and she has a lot to answer for. I saw many criminals become repentant AFTER they were caught and they would not have repented if they had not been caught.
Just throwing the name of Jesus around doesn’t mean squat to me. Repentance and the name of Jesus doesn’t let the guilty out of prison nor bring back the aborted fetuses.
I do not presume to be God, know what punishment is merited by her acts etc... I do not know what is in her heart. All I know is the horror she has brought about and the pain and misery she has inflicted or caused to be inflicted. She may have been forgiven by Gad, but she still may have to pay. I forgive her and do not care about her personally... but I do care about the aborted children. Do they forgive her? (I do not ask for your opinion just facts.)
Of the “replies” I received to my comments, yours is the only one that makes any sense.
