Bid now on a handwritten statement signed by Linda Coffee, co counsel for the landmark Roe v Wade Supreme Court case, written in white felt tip on a 20 x 16 inch photograph where she recounts how the case originated with Jane Roe and reflects on the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning the ruling, accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity.
Handwritten and signed statement by Linda Coffee, one of the two women who successfully argued Roe v. Wade before the Supreme Court, famously giving women in the United States the right to an abortion. Both Coffee and Sarah Weddington represented "Jane Roe" in the historic case, and here Coffee describes how the case originated, as well as her thoughts on the 2022 Supreme Court case that made abortion illegal. Penned in white felt-tip on a 20" x 16" photo, she writes in full, "In 1969, I came upon a mention of California's People v. Belous. Here was a ruling that rendered a state abortion law void on grounds that it was constitutionally vague and that it violated the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. I then thought the Texas abortion law was vulnerable too (Buchanan v. Batchelor). The Texas law was a legal relic, out of step with the reality that if a woman self-aborted - - she wasn't guilty of a crime, not even a misdemeanor. We then found an unhappily pregnant woman Norma McCorvey. She wanted an abortion and wished to proceed with a lawsuit. I quickly fashioned for her a pseudonym, (combining Jane which was suitably common) with Roe (which, along with, Doe, was standard legal vernacular). Roe v. Wade remained settled law for 49 years until the 2022 conservative Supreme Court ruling. An overwhelming majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal. Linda Coffee, Esq. Supreme Court Counsel -- Roe vs. Wade".
