JANUARY 22, 1973, the Supreme Court decision in the case of Roe v. Wade allowed abortions in the first six months of pregnancy.

23 years later, Norma McCorvey, who was the "Jane Roe" in the Roe v. Wade suit, was interviewed by USA Today.

She stated that once, while employed at a clinic when no one was in:

"I went into the procedure room and laid down on the table...trying to imagine what it would be like having an abortion...I broke down and cried."

On ABC's World News Tonight, Norma McCorvey said:

"I think abortion's wrong. I think what I did with Roe v. Wade was wrong."

On November 3, 2005, President Jimmy Carter stated to reporters at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Washington, DC, regarding his latest book, "Our Enduring Values-America's Moral Crisis":

"I never have felt that any abortion should be committed-I think each abortion is the result of a series of errors...

I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion."

Democrat President Jimmy Carter continued:

"I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues. I think our party's leaders-some of them-are overemphasizing the abortion issue."
