Full Bio: The Lawyers Who Represented Jane Roe

All Of It - A podcast by WNYC

Categories:

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 two, we discuss the life of the lawyers who would represent Norma McCorvey in front of the Supreme Court, and how McCorvey came to be the woman the lawyers chose as the plaintiff to attempt to legalize abortion. NOTE: This segment has been edited. The original audio featured a number of impromptu contributions from Alison's dog, Rocco. As delightful as he is, we've re-recorded some portions to remove his comments.
