Woman behind US abortion ruling was paid to recant

If you click your mouse on the underlined words, you will get more information.

The woman behind the 1973 ruling legalising abortion in the United States has now been seen in admitting in a new documentary about her stunning change of heart on the issue in later life by stating that it was "all an act."

She was the plaintiff in the landmark American lawsuit Roe v. Wade in the  1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that ruled that individual state laws banning abortion were unconstitutional. Later, she became a Roman Catholic activist in the  Anti-abortion movement in which McCorvey stated that her involvement in case  was "the biggest mistake of her  life.

But now in in new facts that have emerged, McCorvey admitted that she was paid to switch sides. That means that her Catholic vision wasn’t what motivated her to publicly denounce abortions.

The programme was filmed in the last months of McCorvey's life before her death at age 69 in 2017 in Texas.

The Supreme Court ruling came after McCorvey, then a 25-year-old single woman under the pseudonym "Jane Roe", challenged the criminal abortion laws in Texas that forbade abortion as being unconstitutional except in cases where the mother's life at risk.

At this part pf this article, I want to bring an event to your attention that is pertinent to this article.

On October 27^th, 1933, a unmarried woman who was raped was in a Catholic hospital in Toronto was having difficulty in giving birth to her baby boy. The hospital wanted to let the mother die so that the baby would be brought out of the body of its dead mother. This was the policy of Catholic hospitals then because the newborn baby could then be baptized.  The problem that hospital had was that the woman wasn’t Catholic. She was a Protestant.  Her father was earlier a world  highly respected  Protestant missionary in North Nigeria for thirty years, If the mother  was in a Protestant hospital in that era, they would kill the baby to save the mother. The Archbishop suggested that everyone in the Catholic hospital pray for the mother and her baby. They prayed and soon after, I was born and my mother survived my birth.

In the 1970s, I wrote a lengthy article for a law school publication about abortions. In the article I ventured into the dangerous waters of abortion and dealt with various reasons why abortions should be legal in Canada.

If a young girl is raped, her baby should be aborted. If the mother of au unborn baby is at risk of dying before  the birth  of the baby,  then her baby should be aborted providing that the pregnancy isn’t in the third trimester. If the m other was raped, the her baby should be aborted providing it isn’t in the third trimester.  

 I am well aware of the argument that an aborted baby might have later discovered the cure for the common cold. It is a difficult argument to fight because there is some legitimacy to it.

Here is an example of that possibility. I am the precursor of the United Nations bill of rights for young offenders and one of the precursors of the UN bill of rights for victims of crimes. The two bills of rights have an effect on the lives of millions of people world wide. I also brought into Canada compensation to innocent persons who were innocent when they were serving time in prison. One man who served 24 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit was awarded ten million dollars. I also brought into Canada twenty-four hour duty counsel available to anyone arrested and taken to a police station at any hour of the day or night.  Now these things would have come about sooner or later but if I was aborted, these benefits would still not have come about when they did.

If an unborn baby who is determined to be so seriously deformed that it will make the baby’s entire life so horrible, it may be best for that unborn baby to be aborted.  

There are many people whom we all wish were aborted. I am referring to war criminals, mass and serial killers and other killers. Unfortunately there is no way to make that determination of an unborn baby.
