Norma McCorvey is the "Roe" in "Roe V. Wade"...the landmark abortion case.
Norma Leah McCorvey (née Nelson born September 22, 1947, in Simmesport, Louisiana) is best known as the legal pseudonym "Jane Roe" in the landmark Roe v. Wade lawsuit in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion is a Constitutional right, overturning individual states' laws against abortion. Years later she recanted her support of abortion.

At a signing of that book in 1994, McCorvey was confronted by pro-life activist Flip Benham.
Within a year, McCorvey converted to Christianity. She was baptized on August 8, 1995, by Benham in a Dallas backyard swimming pool, which event was filmed for national television.
Two days later she announced that she had become an advocate of the pro-life movement (specifically, "Operation Rescue"), campaigning to make abortion illegal.
In 1998, she released a statement that affirmed her entrance into the Roman Catholic Church, and she has been confirmed into the church as a full member.
AMEN!
It's like when Jesus converted Paul & Constantine to Christianity and used Christianities enemies (The Pharisees' greatest persecutor of Christians & Rome) to serve His purpose.
He did the same with Roe.
