Roe Died

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I've always felt sorry for her, though I don't know how she actually felt on the inside. I'm sure (and hoping) that she died content knowing that she did all she can to reverse the damage by the ruling. Even if there wasn't a Norma McCorvey, there still would eventually have been a Jane Roe. I'm just hoping she wasn't tortured by unnecessary guilt; after all, the gift of life is taken very seriously by the Christian faith and

Still, the thing that I, ironically as a Christian, find myself a bit more concerning about McCorvey isn't her abortion activism (that was an unavoidable reality in the course of history) but rather her claim to be "ex-gay." I'm not going to judge her for her sexuality, but any direct activism she might have made on behalf of gay conversion therapy to me was worse. As I said, her role in roe was that of a pawn. I hope her conscience was clear on that.
