Unable to do so, she went to a lawyer to arrange an adoption for her baby. The lawyer, however, was an acquaintance of attorney and pro-abortion activist Sarah Weddington. This acquaintance knew Weddington was looking for a plaintiff to challenge pro-life laws before the Supreme Court and referred McCorvey to her.\u00a0When McCorvey met Weddington in 1971, abortion was legal in only a few states. Weddington wanted to change that, and she used McCorvey to make\u00a0<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> a reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duped by the Abortion Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sarah Weddington and fellow lawyer Linda Coffee met with McCorvey in a pizza parlor in Texas. McCorvey thought Weddington was going to help her get an illegal abortion. Instead, she talked McCorvey into signing an affidavit under the pseudonym &#8220;Jane Roe.&#8221; This would be the basis of\u00a0<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>. McCorvey would later say the attorneys &#8220;were looking for somebody, anybody, to use to further their own agenda. I was their most willing dupe.\u201d(1)<\/p>\n<p>McCorvey claimed that she had been raped. This claim garnered public sympathy, especially as her lawyers pushed the narrative, but McCorvey admitted years later that it was a lie.<\/p>\n<p>McCorvey had never wanted to be the plaintiff in <em>Roe<\/em>; she simply wanted Weddington to help her get an illegal abortion. And Weddington <em>did<\/em> know where Norma could get such an abortion, because Weddington herself had her own illegal abortion a few years prior. But Weddington needed McCorvey to stay pregnant for <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>McCorvey would later say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Although I was an emotionally abused child, and a sexually abused teenager, I believe the worst abuse was inflicted by the judicial system. In retrospect, I was exploited by two self-interested attorneys. Worse, the courts, without looking into my true circumstances and taking the time to decide the real impact abortion would have upon women, I feel used me to justify legalization of terminating of the lives of over 35 million [at the time of her statement] babies. Although on an intellectual level I know I was exploited, the responsibility I feel for this tragedy is overwhelming. (2)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even some pro-choice activists have acknowledged that McCorvey was taken advantage of by Weddington and Coffee. In 1995, pro-choice writer Debbie Nathan called McCorvey \u201cChoice\u2019s sacrificial lamb \u2013 a necessary one, perhaps, but a sacrifice even so.\u201d (3)<\/p>\n<p>McCorvey was, thankfully, spared the trauma of abortion. Her baby, a daughter, was born while the case was still being argued. McCorvey placed her child for adoption.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bHe8YGPGzj4\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dumped by the Abortion Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the initial meeting with Weddington and Coffee, the lawyers had no more use for McCorvey. She learned about the <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> decision through a newspaper.\u00a0Upon learning that she was responsible for overturning abortion laws, McCorvey was overwhelmed by guilt. In 2003, years after her pro-life conversion, she describes attempting suicide alone in her home after learning the news:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I sat in the dining room that night and just kept rereading the newspaper story and drinking \u2013 drinking and thinking. It made me sad to know that my name, even though it was a pseudonym, would always be connected to the death of children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>McCorvey got a razor and started cutting her wrists.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>That didn\u2019t work, so I went out and got as many pills as I could. I took all of them and chased it with a quart of Johnny Walker, thinking I would die, and I would never have to talk to Sarah Weddington or Linda Coffee again. But that was not God\u2019s plan for me. (4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>McCorvey would later come to realize that her own death would just be one more tragedy to add onto the children&#8217;s deaths. Years later, she would understand that death was not the real answer to anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joining the Abortion Industry\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before she realized what death and abortion really did to women and children, McCorvey pushed herself to get involved in the pro-abortion movement. But even here, there were times when her role in legalizing abortion bothered her.\u00a0In one instance, she was at a march when she got into a conversation with another marcher, a young woman. The woman said to her:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI just think it\u2019s, like, cool \u2013 what you\u2019ve done; how you\u2019ve made it possible for me to get my abortions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbort<em>ions<\/em>?\u201d I said, stressing the word. \u201dHow many have you had?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d The girl shrugged. \u201c5 or 6, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I cringed. The girl noticed it, but my act was involuntary. I wasn\u2019t trying to be cruel, but even back then I knew getting an abortion was not like getting a haircut.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow come you had that many?\u201d I asked. \u201cDidn\u2019t you learn anything after the first time?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I could understand a woman making one mistake. I could even understand the woman making the same mistake twice. But half-dozen times? I\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t have any patience for that.<\/p>\n<p>I had to get away from her. I couldn\u2019t stand there and talk to her anymore.

Wade,<\/em> speaks at a Dallas March for Life (Photo credit: The Catholic Pro-Life Committee)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>McCorvey also worked in several abortion facilities. Soon after she began working in the abortion industry, she started drinking heavily. Some of what she saw in abortion facilities horrified her. She describes one of facilities:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I started working at the A to Z clinic in January 1995, and it was a health disaster waiting to happen. \u2026 Light fixtures hung out of the ceiling; falling plaster dusted everyone who walked by\u2026. We fought an ongoing, and losing, battle with the rat population\u2026. Every morning we found rat droppings all over the clinic. Sinks were backed up \u2014 in a reputed medical clinic no less \u2014 and blood splatters stained the walls.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cparts room\u201d where we kept the aborted babies was particularly heinous. No one liked to be in there to do their business, much less to clean the place, and since no patients were allowed back there, it was pretty much left to ruin. If a baby didn\u2019t make it into a bucket, that was too bad; it was left to lay there. Other babies were stacked like cordwood once every body part had been accounted for\u2026 the room smelled awful\u2026 The floor of the clinic invited contamination. It was covered by an old, gold and brown shag rug. At least I think it was gold and brown &#8211; no one really knew for sure, since the rug had not been cleaned in a long time.(6)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Questioning the Abortion Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>McCorvey was also troubled by the way abortion workers tried to hide the truth from women &#8212; similar to how the whole truth was hid from her during <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>. She wrote about one time she got in trouble for telling the truth about abortion to a patient. The woman hesitated to sign the consent form. McCorvey recalls:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I began to make enemies right away, thinking that women should at least get a fighting chance to understand what they were doing. I remember one afternoon in particular. A woman came up to the desk and said, \u201cI am so terribly nervous, I can\u2019t fill out this form.<\/p>\n<p>A patient behind her clicked her gum and said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about it. It\u2019s just like getting a tooth pulled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExcuse me?\u201d I cut in. Then, to the woman who spoke first, I said, \u201cSugar, are you sure this is what you want to do? Do you realize where you\u2019re at? This isn&#8217;t like visiting the dentist. This is an abortion clinic. If you go back there, they\u2019re going to take your baby away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the clinic workers sitting behind me began loudly clearing her throat, then said, \u201cNorma. Norma.\u201d I kept talking.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNorma!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t about to be stopped. I was just getting started. \u201cHasn\u2019t anyone explained to you what\u2019s going to happen?\u201d I asked the client.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t surprised. \u201cLet me explain something to you, girlfriend.\u201d I took her outside, ignoring the exclamations of disgust behind me, and explained the procedure, step by step.<\/p>\n<p>The girl\u2019s face became so white I thought she was going to faint. She was horrified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you sure you know what you\u2019re doing?\u201d I asked. \u201cYou\u2019re so young and cute. I don\u2019t want to see you get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The girl shook her head. She never responded to my question. She just turned away from the clinic and never came back.

For example, both Connie [another worker]\u00a0 and I refused to reassemble the body parts after a late-term abortion. It was bad enough having to seal the bags that held them, but there was no way I was going to treat those bodies like grotesque jigsaw puzzles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorma, Norma,\u201d Arnie [the abortionist] once told me. \u201cI will show you where to put the tissue.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I was not a newcomer to abortion clinics at that time, but I was not about to handle the bodies. \u201cSorry, Arnie,\u201d I said, \u201cI don\u2019t do that. I\u2019ll scrub the floors. I\u2019ll make appointments. But don\u2019t ask me to handle the tissue.\u201d(8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>McCorvey was also asked to do medical tasks that she was not trained for:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Once the patient was settled, we hit her with about 40% nitrous oxide. Though I have received no medical training, I routinely performed this function (as well as other medical acts, such as drawing blood). Most abortionists do not want to spend the money to pay a specialist. (9)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The doctor was determined to make as much money as he could:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[S]ometimes I would feel really ripped off by the doctor. Since I booked the abortions, I knew what he was getting paid for each one, but he bolstered his profits by hiring untrained staff like me for six bucks an hour. (10)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While these things were going on, a pro-life organization purchased the building next door to the abortion facility. McCorvey and the other workers were very upset to find out that the pro-lifers would be their new neighbors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leaving the Abortion Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At first McCorvey fought with the pro-lifers, but some of them reached out to her with compassion. She became friends with one pro-life woman and her seven-year-old daughter, Emily. Emily\u2019s kindness towards Norma and her innocence softened the abortion worker\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>Then she found out that Emily had almost been aborted. Her mother had considered abortion when pregnant with the little girl. This had a profound effect on Norma. She says, &#8220;Abortion was no longer an &#8216;abstract right.&#8217; It had a face now, in a little girl named Emily.\u201d (11)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_177994\" style=\"width: 254px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/roe-v-wade-exploitation-mccorvey\/norma-mccorvey-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-177994\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-177994\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-177994\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Norma-McCorvey-1.jpg\" alt=\"Norma McCorvey, Jane Roe of Roe v.

For all the millions spent on public relations, the abortion movement has yet to invent rhetoric powerful enough to blind abortion clinic workers from the truth.
