Over the years McCorvey shed the hidden identity and went public, first speaking out about women’s rights. Windows in her home were shot out.Along the way, she joined instead with abortion foes. She was baptized by an outspoken abortion opponent. She counseled women on difficult life decisions including abortion. She claimed to be a re-born Christian.
"I've been looking for someone to guide me for a long time. And just decided that I would do something nice for Norma," she told NBC 5 on one occasion with the abortion opponent.Only Coffee is still alive. Shethe few states where abortion will still be allowed will cause hardship for women, especially those with low income seeking to end a pregnancy.
“A lot of women don't have enough funds if they were going from here to California or from here to New York,” Coffee said. Her client, Norma McCorvey, died in 2017. Near the end of her life, McCorvey said she still thought abortion should be available in some cases, despite her earlier alliance with anti-abortion activists.
