Roe v. Jesus
“ HANNITY: Do you feel -- I mean, I don't know what burden you take on yourself, because this is your case. This is the one that opened the door in many ways for legalized abortion. Do you -- is there a sense of guilt over the millions of abortions that have taken place, or do you put the blame on the conscience of the person that makes that decision?

MCCORVEY: Well, you know, for a long time there, Sean, I did take on the burden and the guilt of the 45 million children that have died through legal abortion. But then, you know, we have to back up and look at the women who have died from legalized abortion, also.
HANNITY: Yes.
MCCORVEY: I don't have to deal with it anymore. I've been saved by the Blood of the Lamb through Jesus Christ, and so I'm just here. I'm in full support of the motion 60 brief (ph), and I'm very glad that we're doing it. ”
Radical anti-abortionists have found a new silver bullet. Roe from Roe v Wade (real name: Norma McCorvey) has found Jesus, and wants everybody to know she feels really bad and she wants to take it back.
McCorvey is entitled to her opinion -- but she doesn't own Roe v Wade. It was never just about her -- something I'm sure she used to understand but anti-abortionists gleefully ignore.

Abortion causes depression and suicide. "MCCORVEY: Well, we didn't have the technology in 1973 that we do today, Sean... such as the 3-D ultrasound, sonogram. And we didn't know about the -- oh, how do you call it -- the post-abortion depression that goes along after -- you know, to a woman -- after she's had an abortion." [her lawyer] "PARKER: But our evidence in the case, Alan, shows that the suicide rate has gone up tremendously for women who have abortions, because they have to deal with the guilt of what they have done themselves." |
According to Planned Parenthood, "Research studies indicate that emotional responses to legally induced abortion are largely positive. They also indicate that emotional problems resulting from abortion are rare and less frequent than those following childbirth ... "The truth is that most studies in the last 20 years have found abortion to be a relatively benign procedure in terms of emotional effect — except when pre-abortion emotional problems exist or when a wanted pregnancy is terminated, such as after diagnostic genetic testing." Nobody is claiming abortion is painless or easy for a woman. But let's not confuse post-facto religious browbeating with conscious choice. |

Banning abortion will eliminate "pressure" on women to have abortions, and will save women's lives. "MCCORVEY: I would like to see children stop being killed and women maimed and dead themselves." "PARKER: The women that we've talked to feel responsible, but we also feel that they are the least responsible. There are people who pressure them into getting abortions." |
There are many reasons why women choose not to carry pregnancies through, and there are pressures -- internal, social, economic, etc. -- but having a choice is not a pressure. Banning abortion does not end abortion; it only makes it harder for poor women and more dangerous for all. Each year as many as 80,000 women in the world die from unsafe and illegally-performed abortions. Nobody wants more abortions. But as Hillary Clinton pointed out on Monday, we should work to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in the first place, not to make matters worse for the woman who may have no alternative in her circumstance. That is why we say: safe, legal and rare. |

She and her lawyer (with the help of Hannity, of course) make some inaccurate rationales to justify her legal grounds. But facts are not something she has to "deal with."
I don't have to deal with it anymore. I've been saved by the Blood of the Lamb through Jesus Christ.
A true cop out. Perhaps the high court will be amenable to the Motion to Save by the Blood of the Lamb, but we doubt it.
