| Roe v. Wade Attorney Looks Back with Pride, Forward with Concern |
1 - 2 - 3 |
In the years since the Roe decision, Weddington has observed
a gradual erosion of abortion rights, and she voiced concern over
the appointments of new Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito
and John Roberts. “I think Alito will work to overturn Roe. I
think Roberts will too, though I’m not willing to bet on that,” she
said. “But I think we all know that [Roberts’] wife is the head of
an anti-choice group whose goal is to overturn Roe v. Wade.”
Nonetheless, Weddington expressed pride in her accomplishments
and those of choice advocates around the country. “While
I worry about the future, at least for 33 years, because of the
work of a lot of people, women in this country have been able
to make decisions for themselves.”
