'Jane Roe' Wants High Court to End Abortion
Tuesday, January 18, 2005
WASHINGTON � Norma McCorvey (search), the woman whose lawsuit challenging the state of Texas' abortion ban led to the landmark Supreme Court ruling legalizing abortion nationwide, now wants the court to change its mind.
McCorvey told FOX News' "Hannity & Colmes" that she would ask the high court Tuesday to vacate its 1973 Roe v. Wade (search) ruling, which remains a lightning rod for debate. It often takes several days for court officials to account for what gets filed so it was unclear Tuesday if McCorvey's appeal was made.
The court allows parties to its judgments to ask the court to vacate � or overturn � rulings, according to McCorvey's legal team.
McCorvey, now a born-again Christian, challenged Texas' abortion ban under the pseudonym Jane Roe.
In recent years, she has become a outspoken opponent of abortion, arguing that the procedure may harm women and goes against Christian teachings.
"I would like to see children stop being killed and women maimed and dead themselves," McCorvey said Monday on FOX News' "Hannity & Colmes."
Asked by show host Sean Hannity if she felt she bore a special burden as the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, McCorvey said she did experience guilt for a long time, but no longer.
"I've been saved by the blood of the lamb through Jesus Christ, and so I'm just here," she replied.
McCorvey has tried to get lower courts to revisit the case, but has failed to get the original ruling thrown out.
Last year, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (search) in New Orleans dismissed her lawsuit against the Dallas County, Texas, district attorney.
The court said the complaint was moot because Texas had not had a state abortion law for more than 30 years.

You're 's are not appropriate for such a comment, I think..... ::thinks...::
However, yes, it is HORRIBLE, really, how people can decide the fate of another life like that. I like the fact that Roe is taking a stand against it now. I hope she is successful in her new quest.

Bush decided the fate of thousands of Iraqis and Allied troops, did he not?

No he didn't. Bush isn't an all powerful diety that controls the fate of thousands.

Question. If this is a topic about abortion why is Bush mention? Not to be mean. Is it different topic? Bush protected America and too bad people can not see it.
Abortion is wrong in my eyes and in my opinion. So somebody has to take a stand.

Did Bush snap his fingers and say, "Kill all of these people?" No.

Did Saddam's regime have to fight back? No, they didn't. If they hadn't, they wouldn't have been killed. That wasn't Bush's doing.
And it's funny. Libs act like it's US killing our soldiers. Might I remind you all, it's the bad guys.
And we've gotten how many lightyears from the topic of abortion?

Exactly. Exalya, you are right on, and once again, Libs like Kevin are off. We went to war to DEFEND. There is NO correlation between that and abortion! Don't you DARE make one!

Just because he doesn't agree with everything about the current administration, doesn't make him a liberal.

We will warn (Forum warning) people that openly disrespect any moderator. Moderators at STV are not paid and they solely do their job out of passion for this site. I am not asking you to start liking all mods, but when a warning (not a forum warning) is issued by a moderator I expect you to follow up that warning.
For example off-topic posts are frowned upon and at a certain stage a moderator will cut in, to direct a certain topic back into it's original path. When the user replies with a or any sarcastic comment for that matter the supermod, admin or I, will issue a General Forum Warning.
The Judgement of a moderator is final as far as the public forum is concerned. If you dissagree, you can take it up with the adminisration of this site via the PM system.

Oh looky, the rules! Bye bye, RM. Do not post in WN until I give you permission to do so.

I meant it in the way that Roe is deciding over the other people life's actually. The people that have the abortion.
