'Jane Roe' asks High Court to Overturn Roe V. Wade

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The woman once known as "Jane Roe" has asked the Supreme Court to overturn its landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion 32 years ago.

Norma McCorvey, whose protest of Texas' abortion ban led to the 1973 ruling, contends in a petition received at the court Tuesday that the case should be heard again in light of evidence that the procedure may harm women.

"Now we know so much more, and I plead with the court to listen for witnesses and re-evaluate Roe v. Wade," said McCorvey, who says she now regrets her role in the case.

The politically charged issue comes before the court as both sides gird for a possible bitter nomination fight over Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist's replacement should the ailing justice retire this term. At least three justices, including Rehnquist, have said Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be overturned.

2. She drank the Koolaid and she's postmenopausal now...

She doesn't need a choice anymore so she now wants to FORCE women to be 'host organisms'. When a zygote can be transplanted into a man's body or artificial incubator to carry to term, Roe v Wade can be discussed. Until then, SHUT UP!

4. Hey not all post menapausal women lose their minds.

That surely can't be a reason to go over to the dark side unless there are other factors involved.

In the March for Women's Lives last year, I remember seeing a sign by a woman that said, "Post-menapausal Women Nostolgic for Choice!"
