No, it was NOT a hoax.
Norma McCorvey (sp?) or Roe, was not sure what she wanted to do about the baby. Sarah Weddington, her DYKE attorney, convinced her to go forward and Weddington rode this all the way to the SC.
Norma HAD THE BABY. The decision happened after her pregnancy term and abortion was still illegal so she had the baby.
I met Norma in 1988. She told me the story. She became a born again Christian and campaigned AGAINST abortion and was happy she had the child!
