I Am Roe: My Life, Roe V. Wade, and Freedom of Choice
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


This is the story of Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in the famous landmark case, Roe v Wade, which made abortion legal in all 50 states at any time, for any reason. Ironically, she never had an abortion herself because the Supreme Court's decision wasn't made until after she carried her baby to term. She ended up giving the child up for adoption.

Interesting Note:
Her story continues in another book called "Won by Love" where she tells how she eventually became a Christian and changed her mind on the abortion issue mostly because of a little girl named Emily who loved and prayed for her. She now has her own ProLife ministry called Roe No More.
