Norma McCorvey
Norma Leah McCorvey (née Nelson; born September 22, 1947), better known by the legal pseudonym "Jane Roe", was the plaintiff in the landmark American lawsuit Roe v. Wade in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individual state laws banning abortion are unconstitutional. Later, McCorvey's opinion on abortion changed substantially, and she is now active in pro-life causes.

Famous quotes by norma mccorvey:
“I suppose it would be nice to say ... that ... I realized I was making abortion-rights history.... But the honest truth is that nothing like that even occurred to me. I was simply at the end of my rope. At a dead end. I just didn’t know what else to do.”
—Norma McCorvey (b. 1947)
