"Freedom always comes at a high price. It requires a generous heart, ready for sacrifice. We cannot excuse ourselves from our own personal responsibility for freedom. There is no such thing as freedom without sacrifice."
Pope Saint John Paul II On Our Pilgrimage to Eternity,
The Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade
Those who were wanting to legalize Abortion originally sought to win States over to their cause, but even the most liberal States where they thought they could get a foot hold didn’t support Abortion. So, as liberals do when they can’t win with the vote, they took it to court.
This is where Norma McCorvey becomes involved in this tragic story. Norma McCorvey was raised in a bad family situation where she suffered abuse, by age 13 her parents divorced, and she would drop out of high school. McCorvey would marry Elwood McCorvey at age 16 where she continued to suffer from low self esteem, drug abuse, and could never find that love that gave her self redemption. She would have two children, but coming from a poor environment, in 1969, a third pregnancy became very difficult for her. She ended up giving this child up for adoption.
Friends of hers encouraged her to claim this pregnancy was due to rape, and by this time, Liberal feminists Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee were looking for a case they wanted to use to challenge State Laws banning abortion.
Since no State would support their demand for abortion, they wanted to push the courts and they found Norma McCorvey through an adoption attorney?
