Change of Mind

As I was looking for something to write on, I came across an interesting blog post on hutchinsonleader.com. Norma McCorvey also known as “Roe” in Roe VS Wade who fought for the right of women to have abortions, changed her opinion. McCorvey actually never had an abortion because the court took a long time to make a ruling on this case, so she gave birth to the child and then gave the child up for adoption. She went as far as to ask the Supreme Court to change their ruling on the Roe VS Wade court case and joined “Operation Rescue” an anti-abortion organization. This information really intrigued me.

Someone who fought so hard for a purpose changing their mind on the issue? How could this be? These are rare cases, but through these stories, I was reminded that in the end, what is right will prevail, no matter how weak and small it seems to be in comparison to the many deceitful yet attractive things that we choose to believe in instead.

Wow...what a fascinating topic. I can't believe she changed her mind. That is so cool! I just wish others would follow her example.

That is really cool that she changed her mind! It is awesome that she is now speaking up and trying to make changes. It is people like her, (ones who have had first hand experiences) who have a great ability to make changes. I hope her message is heard and received well.

Nice find. I love the crazy stories about people who are involved in controversy and then resurface in a different opinion later. They don't get nearly any attention the second time around, but it always is interesting.

Like everyone else that commented, I am amazed by this information. What a great testimony to the failure of the abortion movement to live up to its own "moral backing" and a superb addition to the pro-life movement.
