McCorvey to High Court: Overturn Roe vs Wade

The woman whose case became the basis for the controversial 1973 Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion is petitioning the court to have the ruling overturned.

Norma McCorvvey, known as Jane Roe in court filings, told the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" on Monday, "We're going to be fling a Motion 60 brief tomorrow with the Supreme Court and ask and plead and beg them to please overturn Roe vs. Wade."


McCorvey came out against abortion years ago, but her decision to actively challenge the landmark ruling was spurred, she explained, by new technology that dramatically increased chances for viability for the unborn.
She also cited the increase in post-abortion depression among women.

McCorvey's lawyer, Allan Parker, explained the legal process, telling "Hannity & Colmes": "Under Rule 60, Norma, as a party [to the original case], can ask the court to vacate her judgment - set it aside as if it never was - on the grounds that it's no longer just."

Parker said he would be required to show that both medical and legal conditions had changed significantly since the court decided Roe vs. Wade 32-years ago.

McCorvey said that if there had been the technology that we have now, such as sonograms, she believes that the Roe decision might have been differently decided. She also cited the increased knowledge of the damaging effects abortion has on women's physical and mental health. McCorvey noted new technology that dramatically increases the viablility of the unborn child. New laws that allow "safe haven" for women to leave their babies relieve them of the obligation of raising a child they cannot raise, McCorvey's motion notes[/quote

I found this here Link

But I still don't understand the viability statement. It's actually a forum but's its very onesided someone said something about "What? Over turn Roe vs. Wade and steal the Holy Grail of feminism? Perish the thought!" which is kinda uncalled for but I was looking for more information so I could understand

Get a grip dude! Roe V Wade was HER court case. And since it was HERS then she can contest if she so chooses. Doesn 't mean it's going to go the way she wants though.


Yes I understand that, my point was simply that I got the feeling she didn't believe that females still had that right and that it should be taken away from them in a way that leaves other females with little or no say in the matter.

Why dont you read her actual statements, instead of the filtered version that the media gives you.  You are actually not that far from the truth, but the real truth is a lot more complex.
