Norma McCorvey a.k.a Jane Roe who was led the fight in
the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade that established abortion as
a constitutional right has died.
Norma
died from heart failure at the age of 69. She was just 22 when she
championed the fight for a woman's right to an abortion and she became
the center of one of the most contentious legal battles in American
history that came to a head in 1973 when the Supreme Court legalized
abortion.
Her case is
still the center of controversy on the Court and in the nation. The
justices are still divided ever so closely on Roe v. Wade.
