Norma McCorvey seeks to re-open Roe v. Wade
LifeSite Daily News
Norma McCorvey, the former "Roe" of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court case that legalized abortion, filed a historic motion June 17 to re-open her case and request that it be overturned. The filing is based on changes in law and factual conditions since the high court handed down its decision 30 years ago.
As a party to the original litigation, Norma McCorvey may petition the court to re-open the original case based on changes in factual conditions or changes in law or both that make the prior decision "no longer just," said Allan E. Parker Jr., lead attorney for the Texas-based Justice Foundation.
The motion attacks the judgement that was first entered 33 years ago by the Dallas Federal Court. McCorvey is asking that the judgement in the original Roe case be set aside.
