e ainda dizem que fumar mata...

A breve história que se segue relata o início da conversão da mulher que fez com que em 1973 o Supremo Tribunal Constitucional dos EUA reconhecesse o aborto como um direito constitucional.

“In 1994, he (Flip Benham - was a saloon owner until his conversion in 1976. He then began a career as a Christian minister and pro-life activist. He has been arrested, by his own count, "less than a hundred, more than 50" times) confronted Norma McCorvey, best known as "Jane Roe" in the landmark Supreme Court abortion case "Roe v. Wade", at a book-signing. He shouted at her that she was "responsible for the deaths of over 33 million children," and six months later he opened Operation Rescue's national headquarters next to A Choice for Women, the reproductive health care clinic where McCorvey was working at the time. McCorvey initially resisted any contact, but eventually started to talk to Benham during her smoking breaks. During one friendly banter, McCorvey goaded Benham, "What you need is to go to a good Beach Boys concert." Benham answered, "Miss Norma, I haven't been to a Beach Boys concert since 1976."

McCorvey later reported that this seemingly innocuous response shook her to the core and that, quite suddenly, Benham became human to her. She later accepted an invitation to visit their church and within a year, McCorvey converted from being pro-choice to being pro-life, which she has remained.

On August 8, 1995, Benham baptized McCorvey in a Dallas backyard swimming pool that was filmed for national television.” Fonte:

Segundo ouvi dizer ela vai estar em Portugal, em data já marcada (mas eu não sei qual é), para fazer campanha pelo Não ao aborto.

Tudo lá!

Por detrás de toda a história (processo Roe Vs. Wade http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade) que originou que desde então nos EUA se considerasse o bébe na barriga da mãe como propriedade privada e assim muitas vidas se perdessem, está mais uma cowboyada à americana ...
