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.

Actually, she did not get the benefit.  By the time the case came to court, she had already given birth.

And anyone can have a pang of conscious, and change.  She truly has.  It is not a scam.

yes people can change... point taken

There is no statute of limitations for such a request? I am not sure what she means by legal conditions have changed.

This is not the first time she had tried to get the case overturned.

I firmly believe in a woman's right to choose also.

I hope that her decision to request the overturn of this ruling has been truly looked at because of the ramifications if her request is granted.

I dont think she has a snowball's chance in hell.  But she does have the right to work for it.

It was one male judge who decided the original decision ..... there are mostly men in the Supreme Court ..... ... nature aborts foetuses all the time and the RC church never makes a comment on this .... but I suppose if bishops and popes got pregnant they would have a different "moral" stance on abortion ..... my views on abortion are irrelevant as I'm a male. .... don't pro death penalty groups oppose abortion and go gung=ho for war? The control of a woman's body should not be used as a political or legal football.

Just so you know, nature aborting a fetus is... well... natural. The reason the Christian Right doesn't oppose natural abortions is mostly because you can't oppose Mother Nature, or as some believe, God. You can, however, protest the actions of others as unjust and wrong for society.

Also, your point that "if bishops and popes got pregnant they would have a different 'moral' stance on abortion..." is ludicrous, mainly because there has never been a female pope, and I'm not aware of any female bishops.

Finally... a woman's body shouldn't be a political or legal football, you're right. However, some people said that our loyalty to the crown shouldn't be lobbied around so lightly either. I personally think both are correct, and we need to balance somewhere in the middle.

Roe v Wade should stand. Hopefully, the court will toss her request. Abortion is and should be a personal decision with religious/moral dimensions, not a societal decision with personal dimensions.

"She also cited the increase in post-abortion depression among women"

Well, I hope Norma doesn't mind when there is an increase in the death of women from the medical complication of back alley abortions, which happens when abortion is illegal. Abortion happens anyway, regardless of if it is legal or not. When it's not legal, women still have abortions, but they don't get proper informaion or medical care. But, ya know, Go Norma, wouldn't want women depressed or anything. Better to have 'em dead.

Strange that the two questions never asked by the Supreme Court, Planned Parenthood, The ACLU, NOW or even the "Right to Life" are:

Is the fetus alive?

Is the fetus Homo Sapien?

Maybe the answer might actually lead to intelligent thought, instead of the endless displays of emotion and rhetoric that has stifled the discussion.

As far as I can see, Roe Vs. Wade was made without even considering either of the all important questions.

It's ironic, many who claim to love all that is living will cry over the suffering of even the smallest animal, and will fight for the right of a rare plant to exist, but won't even consider a human fetus, alive... all in the name of being "humane"
