Norma McCorvey, the woman behind  Roe v. Wade—whose case was used to legalise abortion in the United States devoted her life to overturning the judgement before she died.

 
According to Washington Post, McCorvey died on February 18th, 2017.

 
In 1973, she was ‘Jane Roe’ the plaintiff in the famous (or can we say infamous) case where the SCOTUS- Supreme Court of the United States opened the door for on-demand abortion in the country.


This landmark decision invariably affected abortion laws—and attitudes, globally.

 
 “Back in 1973, I was a very confused twenty-one year old with one child and facing an unplanned pregnancy,” she says in anti-abortion ad. “At the time I fought to obtain a legal abortion, but truth be told, I have three daughters and never had an abortion.”

“I think it’s safe to say that the entire abortion industry is based on a lie…. I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life undoing the law that bears my name,” McCorvey says.

 

 “You read about me in history books, but now I am dedicated to spreading the truth about preserving the dignity of all human life from natural conception to natural death.” She sums up the 60 second ad.

Abortion and Dignity of Human Life: A Moral Consideration

The moral consideration of abortion points to the difficulty involved in the defining with enough grounds, arguments and proof whether or not abortion and its related activities are wrong or right. In the annals of history, the definition of the morality of abortion is a difficult task that posits lots of problems which years of scholastic philosophical arguments have not been able to determine.
