A Quote by Norma McCorvey

I’m Norma McCorvey, the former Jane Roe of the Roe vs. Wade decision that brought "legal" child killing to America. I was persuaded by feminist attorneys to lie; to say that I was raped, and needed an abortion. It was all a lie.

I was the Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade, but Jane Roe has been laid to rest.

Norma McCorvey

America will never resist abortion until America sees abortion... The pro-life movement is not primarily a response to Roe vs Wade. It is a response to Jesus Christ.

Frank Pavone

America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men.

Mother Teresa

Thirty-two years after the legalization of abortion by the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, the majority of Americans consider themselves pro-life.

Rick Santorum

After 'Roe v. Wade' - when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973 - I thought the national conversation about abortion and birth control would be over. It was not.

Karen DeCrow

In 1973, the Roe v. Wade decision concluded that women have a constitutionally protected right to safe and legal abortions. That landmark decision wasn't the beginning of women having abortions; it was the end of women dying from abortions.

Jan Schakowsky

First off, I never favored a constitutional amendment to criminalize abortion or to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Dennis Kucinich

Roe v. Wade very clearly sets out that there can be regulations on abortion so long as the life and the health of the mother are taken into account.

Hillary Clinton

Americans are guaranteed the constitutional right to legal abortion in Roe v. Wade, and it's past time for Republicans to stop using the issue as a political football. In fact, it's past time for Republican politicians to stop interfering in women's personal lives, period.

Kirsten Gillibrand

Even those who, like me, believe that Roe v. Wade and the decisions elaborating on reproductive rights were constitutionally correct must recognize that, for many on the right, the sudden and relatively sloppily reasoned character of the abortion rulings... did real damage to the Court's reputation as a relatively neutral arbiter of legal disputes.

Laurence Tribe

The goal of the right is not to stop abortion but to demonize it, punish it and make it as difficult and traumatic as possible. All this it has accomplished fairly well, even without overturning Roe v. Wade .

Ellen Willis

If Roe v. Wade were overturned tomorrow, nobody would even notice, because the states are legislating their own laws about abortion, completely independent.

Wendy Long

I think it’s important that (Roe v. Wade) remain legal for medical reasons and other reasons.

Laura Bush

As Harry Blackmun said when he wrote Roe v. Wade, `Once a child is born, the child has basic constitutional rights: due process, equal protection of the laws.'

Nat Hentoff

Roe v. Wade used raw judicial power to overturn the democratically passed laws in every state in the country and remove state restrictions on abortion.
