‘ROE V. WADE’ Plaintiff Makes National Pro-Life TV Ad
Norma McCorvey appears in her first-ever TV commercial speaking out against abortion, and denouncing her role as “Jane Roe”, the plaintiff in the supreme court case Roe v. Wade, which paved the way for so called “legal” abortion in America (http://www.virtuemedia.org/norma.htm) . . .
Alan E. Sears, CEO of the Alliance Defense Fund responded to the commercial saying, “Norma McCorvey’s testimony is an incredible example of God’s redeeming grace. I commend Norma for her courage to speak out on the evils of abortion and pray that her redemptive story will touch hearts and change minds.”

Abortion is an issue easily clouded by vague discussion of rights, privacy foremost among them. We often forget that it is about people. Yes, it’s about the unborn children; and it is also about the women whose lives are forever changed.
Good for her! What courage!
I found earlier this week, though it’s been right in front of me, that in one of my personal favorite Psalms, #51, in verse 5 the writer speaks of himself, using “I” and “me,” as having inherited sinfulness from the moment he was “conceived.” Another translation renders it “For I was born a sinner — yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.” I looked up the Hebrew word for “conceived” — it is not a misplaced word, definitely meaning not birth, or even being in the womb per se, but conception — the moment the first distinct strand of DNA is written for the first time. And so here the word of God speaks of life beginning at conception.
Now I have to wonder what else I managed to pass by that in the Holy Bible.
