Norma McCorvey (born September 22, 1947, in Simmesport, Louisiana) is best known by the legal pseudonym "Jane Roe" in the landmark American lawsuit Roe v. Wade in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that laws legislating against abortion are unconstitutional, overturning individual states' laws against abortion. Years later she recanted her support of abortion rights, thus becoming pro-life.

Today, several online reports inaccurately list McCorvey among those persons arrested during Obama’s visit to Notre Dame.

South Bend Fox28 however reports McCorvery was not among the 4 arrested Sunday, currently being held on $250 bonds. An additional 21 were arrested during a protest yesterday.

Reports FOX:

Protesting today but not arrested was Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff identified as “Roe” in the Roe v. Wade

McCorvey had told press in advance of her protest:

“Hopefully we can convince Mr. Obama that he should be standing on the right side, and that’s the side for life. I’m pro-life now, I’m not afraid.”
