Wade that led to legal abortion"},"content":{"rendered":"

Roe v. Wade<\/em> has shaped up to be the most catastrophic U.S. Supreme Court decision of all time. 60 million innocent children’s lives have been lost, with mothers suffering immense pain and regret as a result — and all because of a bad law\u00a0which was completely\u00a0based on lies. Here are six:<\/p>\n

Lie #1: Jane Roe had been raped.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The truth: She wasn’t raped… and she never had an abortion.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Jane Roe, whom we now know as Norma McCorvey, was just 21 years old when she became pregnant for the third time and sought an abortion in the state of Texas. Texas law, however, stated that a woman could only undergo an abortion if the mother’s life was at risk. McCorvey was put in contact with two lawyers, Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington, who were looking for a pregnant woman to help them build a case to legalize abortion. McCorvey lied and said she had been raped. That lie became the basis for the legal fight against the District Attorney of Dallas County, Henry Wade. The lawyers knew that the case would never be finished in time for McCorvey to get an abortion and she ended up giving birth and placing the child for adoption. McCorvey not only admitted later on that she had lied about being raped, but she became pro-life and worked to end legal abortion up until her death in 2017.<\/p>\n

Lie #2: 60% of Americans wanted legalized abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The truth: Abortion advocates told the media they had public opinion on their side. They didn’t.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Bernard Nathanson<\/a> was one of the main proponents of legalized abortion. He founded NARAL but later became pro-life. He admitted, “We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal, enlightened, sophisticated one\u2026. Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60 percent of Americans were in favor of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority.”<\/p>\n
