Norma McCorvey’s oldest daughter talked family, issues before abortion case overturned roevswade roevwade scotus abortionrights womensrights
took her case in 1970, but the ultimate Supreme Court decision wasn’t made until 1973 and McCorvey never got the abortion despite her desire to get one. By the time of the decision, McCorvey’s child was 2 years old and had been adopted.
Rather, McCorvey gave her third daughter, Shelley Thornton, up for adoption like she did her first two daughters. Her mother was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, while Mills was raised as a Baptist and considers herself Christian but doesn’t attend a particular church. Mills says the grandmother who raised her held traditional values, while her biological mother wanted to be anything but “barefoot and pregnant.”Over time, McCorvey was eventually on both sides of the abortion battle, her views seemingly moving across the line from supporting abortion rights to opposing them.
“It’s kind of crazy that they would keep doing that late trimester, you know, late second trimester early third trimester abortions. And that’s just insane,” she said.
