The author personally knew Norma McCorvey.

Norma was likely used by institutions for women's rights purposes, although she never had an abortion.

Several years after after the legal decision, Norma realized she could be responsible for millions of deaths.

Eventually, Norma converted to Christianity herself, and then to Catholicism before passing away in 2017.

----------------------------------------

I have been speaking on the pro-life circuit for more than 30 years. Countless men and women have come to me and shared their anguish and regret about their abortions, which at the time they thought was a way out of a tough situation.

The regrets and the nightmares come from the illusion that there is a way out, that there is some escape valve from personal responsibility in life. Legal abortion provides this deadly illusion that there is a way out. But a clever brain cannot delude a knowing heart.

What young Norma McCorvey needed at the age of 22, pregnant with her life in disarray, was someone to step in and help her look into eternity and embrace life and the beauty of motherhood.

Instead, she met two ambitious young left-wing attorneys who saw an opportunity to use her and her anguish and confusion to transform the country, build and expand on the “me” culture that had picked up steam in the 1960s, and make the illusory abortion safety valve legally and easily available for all women.

But like all self-delusion, this illusion of greater freedom at the expense of the lives of others, just dug the hole deeper for Norma McCorvey, and so it has for our country.
