Norma McCorvey

“I looked at a fetal development chart at the Operation Rescue Office in Dallas. I had a lot of emotions stirring up inside of me. That's when I decided that I was wrong in my attitude about abortion.”

“I'm 100 percent pro-life. I don't believe in abortion at all.”

“I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life undoing the law that bears my name.”

“If a young woman is pregnant and wants to have an abortion, that's her choice. That's her body.”

“Back in 1970, I was a very confused, 21-year-old pregnant girl, and I was looking for help... I was just a pawn.”

“The whole thing was an act. I did it for the money.”

“Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee, they needed a plaintiff. I was their pawn. I was their vehicle to get Roe v. Wade to the Supreme Court.”

“My case was about one woman's choice.”

“I wasn't the one who had the abortion. The law was changed for other women to have abortions.”

“I'm not pro-choice, I'm not pro-life. I'm pro-Norma.”

“I was the big fish. I think it was a mutual thing. I took their money and they’d put me out in front of the cameras and tell me what to say. That’s what I’d say.”
