It was ostensibly against Henry Wade, District Attorney of Rockwell County, Texas, who was legally obliged to support the local laws that prohibited abortion. Jane Doe was found by supporters of abortion. She (real name Norma McCorvey, who is now pro-life) got pregnant in 1969 and was given some bad advice - she told people she was raped, hoping to obtain a legal abortion. Attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington ended up taking her case and they brought it all the way to the Supreme Court where it was heard in October 1972. In January of 1973, abortion became legal in the United States.
