The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans will consider whether to reverse Roe v. Wade on March 2. Allan E. Parker, Jr., CEO and founder of The Justice Foundation, the organization representing Norma McCorvey in her pursuit to reverse her role in Roe v. Wade, has called for the pro-life community to join in days of prayer and fasting until that date.
The Justice Foundation has received official notice from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit that the Court will hear oral argument and make a preliminary decision some time between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, on Tuesday, March 2, 2004, on Norma McCorvey's Rule 60 Motion to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The news is significant since only some ten percent of cases filed receive oral argument. Further, McCorvey's attorneys will be the only attorneys arguing in the case. Neither the State of Texas or the District Attorney have chosen to file a brief.
The Justice Foundation notes there are several issues before the Court: Whether Roe v. Wade should be overturned; whether to grant the motion based on the evidence that was submitted with the motion; or to send the case back to a trial court for a trial; and, whether a single judge or a three-judge panel should have heard the case at the trial court level.
