Full Bio: The Later Life of Jane Roe and the Future of Civil Rights

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 14, 2022

For the latest installment of our ongoing Full Bio series, we speak with journalist Joshua Prager, author of the biography about the story of Roe v. Wade, called The Family Roe: An American Story. On day four, we speak about the later life of Jane Roe, Norma McCorvey, and how her opinions of abortion changed as she aged. Plus, we reflect on how the story of Roe v. Wade is different now that it has been overturned by the Supreme Court, and it could mean for the future of civil rights in the United States.
