<p>&#8220;I felt ‘crushed’ under the truth of this realization. I had to face up to the awful reality. Abortion wasn&#8217;t about &#8216;products of conception.&#8217; It wasn&#8217;t about &#8216;missed periods.&#8217; It was about children being killed in their mother&#8217;s wombs. All those years I was wrong. Signing that affidavit, I was wrong. Working in an abortion clinic, I was wrong. No more of this first trimester, second trimester, third trimester stuff. ” &#8211;<i> <b>Norma McCorvey</b></i><b>, the plaintiff in the infamous Supreme Court case <i>Roe v. Wade</i></b></p>
