SCOTUS Refuses Roe v. Wade Review Petition

Norma McCorvey herself, the "Roe" of the original case of Roe v. Wade, filed for a reconsideration of her own case, on the basis that circumstances--and her own wishes and desires--have changed. But once again, the Court was not willing to re-hear that case.

The exhaustion of remedies would seem to be complete, except that the Jane Doe of Doe v. Bolton has filed a similar petition for reconsideration. But the only thing likely to avail is enough replacements of Supreme Court Justices.
