Roe v Wade the most important decision (IMO) concerning womens rights, the woman who was Roe fought a few years back to get her own court decision overturned!!
Years after winning that court case that made abortion legal, she joined the pro life movement! She claimed that her attourney had been wanting to fight to legalize abortion for a long time and decided she provided an opportunity to do so, and roe was pressured into going to court.
( apparently, roe became pregnant as a result of a rape, although later she claimed she was never raped. After being turned down by many doctors for an abortion, she sought an attournet for adoption. That attorney referred her to a different attorney, saying they just wanted to talk to her. That different attorney was the one who "pressured" roe into taking her case to court and attempting to legalize abortion.
years later Roe found god or whatever, and joined the prolife movment. I *think* it was in 2006 she tried to get her own Supreme Court decision overturned and make abortion illegal once again. Thank God the Sup. Court. didn't agree and refused to overturn their previous decision.
huh. Who knew? who knew we came so close to losing our right to choose.
And you know those damn prolifers are all reaaaal excited to have THE ROE as a part of their movment. It certainly gives them a lot of braging rights to be able to say that the woman who fought for legalize abortion finally saw the error in her ways and joined them.
anyway..just random trivia I leanred this week. I thought it was interesting.
