Later in life she switched sides, from abortion rights advocate to anti-abortion campaigner. In 1995, she was baptized as a born-again Christian. A 1998 documentary, Roe vs. Roe: Baptism by Fire, detailed her conversion. In 1998, she underwent another conversion to Roman Catholicism. In 2005, she petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, claiming abortions harmed women. The court called the issue moot and denied the petition. Her books include I Am Roe: My Life, Roe v. Wade, and Freedom of Choice written with Andy Meisler and Won by Love written with Gary Thomas. She died of heart failure on February 18, 2017 at the age of 69. (Bowker Author Biography) |
