HENRY WADE OF ROE V WADE DIES AT 86

DALLAS, TX, Mar 2, 2001 (LSN.ca) – District Attorney Henry Wade, who is historically remembered as the defender of the right to life in the Roe v Wade case, died Thursday at 86. In 1970, then Texas waitress Norma McCorvey (Roe) sued Wade, the Dallas county district attorney for the right to abort her baby. However, Wade’s assistant took the case rather than Wade himself, leading McCorvey’s attorney, then 25-year-old abortion activist Sarah Weddington to breath a sigh of relief since Wade never lost a case he personally prosecuted.
