Jane Roe speaks out

In her first-ever television commercial, Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade) speaks out against abortion on demand. Her powerful testimony in this short, revealing commercial by Virtue Media talks about McCorvey’s role in the case as well as her realization that it was “the biggest mistake of [her] life.”

“Norma McCorvey’s testimony is a incredible example of God’s redeeming grace. I commend Norma for her courage to speak out on the evils of abortion and pray that her redemptive story will touch hearts and change minds.”

Catholic News Agency and Jill Stanek both cover the release of McCorvey’s recent commercial. Since the 1973 ruling, McCorvey has truly turned her life around. She has become a devout Catholic who laments her role in the infamous case that brought about the documented killings of 50 million children in America.

McCorvey tells viewers, “back in 1973 I was a very confused twenty-one year old with one child and facing an unplanned pregnancy. At the time I fought to obtain a legal abortion, but truth be told, I have three daughters and never had an abortion.”

“Upon knowing God,” she continues, “I realize that my case, which legalized abortion on demand, was the biggest mistake of my life…You read about me in history books, but now I am dedicated to spreading the truth about preserving the dignity of all human life from natural conception to natural death.”
