Norma McCorvey, Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide, dies at 69
I never heard much, if anything, about her personal story.
Homicide is very, very destructive and evil. It leaves despair and confusion in its wake.
It is the only stock in trade of the state.

Plaintiffs' lawyers often lay the hammer on their vulnerable clients to act directly against their interests in favor of the lawyer's interest. Especially in class action and civil rights cases.
Our way of doing things seems to create inherent and direct conflicts of interests between what the client needs and the lawyer wants.
