What happened to Norma McCorvey's (Jane Roe) baby?
Norma was arrested today for disrupting the confirmation of Judge Sotomayor. It's ironic that that a born again birther would object to Sonia Sotomayor on the court because Sotomayor may well be against choice, but that's not my question.

Since McCovery didn't get the abortion she wanted and was forced to give her baby up for adoption, why hasn't the right exploited the success of that outcome? McCorvey's child is out there somewhere, with liberalization of records, the answer is known, so what happened to the kid? It has bothered me for years, but the answer is clear, if that baby found a cure for cancer, we'd know it.

1. I read that McCovery has had a long
history of mental health issues and it was suggested that it has influenced her judgment. Does anyone know whether that is true?

2. Whatever the case McCovery has been under the influence
of the right wing for 30 years, in effect brain-washed by a cult.
She apparantly has mental issues too.
They have used her as a tool to push their agenda.

3. Well, actually she was participating in pro-choice activities in SoCal
when I met her 20 years ago or so. But then Operation Rescue got to her.
