Doe v Wade - ??

There are things that I learn in my life that fall into the category of "I didn't know that - should I have known that?". Here are a few things that I learned today when I got caught up in the web of searching the internet and clicking on article after article, all tied together. I really wasn't looking to get into abortion articles but one thing led to another and I found myself reading all of them. Guess that's why they call it the "web" because once you are in, it's hard to get out.

1. Did you know that the reason that ROE v Wade was called "Roe" because there was already a "Doe"? Jane Roe was the famous woman who filed the complaint against Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade. Another couple was involved in the original case and they were identified as "John and Mary Doe". So they didn't want a Mary Doe and a Jane Doe because you can't have a "Doe v. ?" and another "Doe v.?" - so that's why we have "Roe"... I didn't know that.
2. Did you know that "Roe" (Norma McCorvey) is now a strong Catholic and is anti-abortion? Actually, I think I knew that but I put it in here in case you didn't know.
3. Speaking of Henry Wade of the "Roe v Wade" - he was known for 2 things. He put Jack Ruby behind bars (after killing Oswald). He was also known as a Texas legend with the nickname of "The Chief'' around the Dallas courthouse because Wade never lost a case he personally prosecuted. What? What about Roe v. Wade? Didn't he ultimately lose that because of the Supreme Court's decision? ... Well, actually he never personally got involved. One of his assistants actually defended the case for the State of Texas.

And now you know things I didn't know.

God bless you all,

p.s. This is not meant to spark an abortion debate. I have my personal opinions on the issue but I just thought this would be interesting regardless of your stance on the issue.
