Roe v. Wade Back to the US Supreme Court

Norma McCorvey, the former .Roe. of Roe v. Wade never had an abortion. She worked in abortion clinics from approximately 1992 to 1995. Her conscience began bothering her as she faced the harsh truth of abortion which is the destruction of women, children, men and families. In 1995, she became a born-again Christian and later joined the Roman Catholic Church. Now she has filed a Rule 60 Motion to vacate and reverse Roe v. Wade. Represented by The Justice Foundation (www.operationoutcry.org), her Petition to the U.S. Supreme Court will be filed on or about January 17, 2005.

Her lawyers are working on the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court until then, after which the Court will consider whether to hear the case. This is the time for the whole body of Christ to unite in prayer for the end of the covenant with death that is Roe v. Wade.

Please join us in praying for the following:

  1. The Lord's direction, instruction, counsel, wisdom, provision, health and protection for The Justice Foundation, Norma McCorvey, Sandra Cano (the former "Doe" of Doe v. Bolton, Doe was Roe's companion case which together allowed abortion on-demand and partial birth abortion), and their lawyers, staff, donors, volunteers and prayer supporters and all their families.
  2. Confession (Psalm 51), repentance (Psalm 32), revival (II Chronicles 7:14), reconciliation and the end to the "covenant with death, the agreement with the grave" that is Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Read and pray all the verses of Isaiah 28:14-22.
  3. Commit to fast as the Lord leads, and pray everyday until the very end, not just when the cases are filed, but until the decision is rendered publicly in writing and cannot be changed. In 1992, the last time Roe was almost overturned, there were five votes to reverse Roe v. Wade after oral argument. But one justice changed his vote before the opinion became public, and we have had 14 more years of legalized abortion on demand.
  4. Pray that the justices will actually read the over 1000 affidavits of post-abortive women and other evidence filed in the case. Pray that a spirit of justice will invade and embolden every justice of the Supreme Court (William H. Rehnquist, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, David Hackett Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Stephen G. Breyer).
  5. Pray that all men will come forward and exercise their spiritual authority by praying (between 5am and 7am) for the end of legalized abortion, repent for their role in abortion and for their nation, their families, and those in authority, especially the courts. Pray that women who have had abortions will repent, pray and speak the truth boldly for proper relationships between men and women, and that youth will speak out with passion. Pray for heartbreaking conviction and deep repentance for all Americans' role in abortion.
  6. Pray for unity in the body of Christ, and that all Christians would come together on this issue. Pray for heartbreaking conviction and deep repentance for the church's role in abortion and the boldness to offer forgiveness and healing for abortion.
  7. That the Solicitor General, on behalf of the United States Government, would support Norma McCorvey's position.
