Roswell, Ga., Jun 18, 2008 / 07:25 pm (CNA).- Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff “Jane Roe” in the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, will appear in her first-ever television commercial to lament her role in the case.

Since the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, documented abortions have killed more than 50 million unborn babies in the U.S.

In the new commercial McCorvey says, “back in 1973 I was a very confused twenty-one year old with one child and facing an unplanned pregnancy. At the time I fought to obtain a legal abortion, but truth be told, I have three daughters and never had an abortion." 

“Upon knowing God,” she continues, “I realize that my case, which legalized abortion on demand, was the biggest mistake of my life.

“You read about me in history books, but now I am dedicated to spreading the truth about preserving the dignity of all human life from natural conception to natural death."

McCorvey is now an active Catholic.

The commercial is produced by Virtue Media, which describes itself as an organization “dedicated to producing and airing powerful and life-saving television, radio commercials and educational films.”

Susan Gerdvil, Communications Director at Virtue Media, told CNA that the organization is working with different pro-life groups to air the commercial but a broadcast is not yet scheduled.

Norma McCorvey’s commercial is viewable at Virtue Media's website.

John, is that what we've reduced life to? Money & convenience? That's not what I see when I look at my children. I would do anything for them. I have seen and heard too many women ruin their lives by the lure of the illusion that abortion is the only viable option. I have also seen the beauty in women who have unselfishly given up their babies to adoption and graced families with the love of a child they couldn't have on their own.

Until you are willing to finance each "at risk" child until they are 18, you have Zero credibility. Put your money where your mouth is.

I saw Norma McCorvery's commercial on EWTN last week.I was moved to tears..her message is soooo POWERFUL. Just as her case opened the door to abortion, her coming out to the country could close the door on this holocaust forever. God is guiding Norma's every step..GOD BLESS NORMA!!She has my utmost support&respect....GO NORMA!!!!!Pax Christi, Jane
