Norma McCorvey, Roe v Wade Abortion Case (2017x24)

Ausstrahlung: Feb 23, 2017

In an interview recorded in 2004, HARDtalk's Tim Sebastian spoke to Norma McCorvey, who died days ago in the United States. She was better known by the legal pseudonym 'Jane Roe' in the landmark American lawsuit Roe v. Wade in 1973. The case ruling challenged the criminal abortion laws in Texas that ruled abortion was unconstitutional, except in cases where the mother's life was in danger. Later, McCorvey's views on abortion changed substantially after turning to the Roman Catholic faith and becoming an activist in the pro-life movement. So should a change in one's faith be a deciding factor in the overturning of a monumental Supreme Court ruling?
