Politics: Onward from New Hampshire

A federal appeals court has agreed to hear a request from the woman formerly known as "Jane Roe" to reconsider the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

This quote --

"It's something that I've wanted ever since Day One, and it's happening," McCorvey said from her Dallas home.

-- is interesting on two levels. First, as late as 1990, Norma was speaking at pro-choice rallies and screaming about how much she hated the anti-abortion movement. (She was a pretty fiery speaker.) So she has a pretty odd definition of "Day One." Unless by "Day One" she means the day she became Born Again.

On the other hand, the quote would seem to constitute an admission that she sat on her "rights" for 10, if not 30, years.

But I guess that's okay in the Fifth Circuit, as long as you're not trying to do something silly like avoid execution.
