The daughter of Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in the Roe v Wade case, says her mother would be 'devastated' about the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the landmark ruling
Ms Mills, who was born eight years before the landmark case in 1965, said the Supreme Court's decision was "unbelievable"."All the things that we've accomplished as women, and as a society, we've grown in other ways and now they're taking back women's reproductive rights and their rights to have healthcare that they need to take care of their bodies and their families.
Ms Mills said her mother, who was "not your typical housewife or mother", secured a victory that was not just about abortion but about the balance of power as a whole."Women were looked at differently, they didn't have any rights... she was also gay, she had a lot of things against her at that time.
