Norma McCorvey
Born in 1947, McCorvey became a pivotal figure in the abortion rights movement in the United States. Initially known by the legal pseudonym 'Jane Roe', McCorvey was the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide in 1973. The case arose from her desire to terminate her pregnancy against the restrictive Texas laws at the time. Following the decision, McCorvey's life was deeply influenced by her involvement in the pro-choice movement. However, in later years, she publicly converted to Christianity and became a pro-life advocate, leading to significant media attention. McCorvey's story reflected the complexities of the abortion debate in America, impacting public discourse around women's rights and reproductive health.
