From Abortion "Pawn" to Pro-Life Warrior: Sandra Cano Has Died
October 1, 2014
By Cheryl Sullenger
Atlanta, Georgia - Sadly, Sandra Cano, the "Doe" in the 1973 Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court case, died yesterday at a Georgia hospital after suffering from complications to throat cancer.
"We
have lost an irreplaceable voice for truth and justice in America,"
said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. "Sandra worked most
of her life to expose the lies that were the foundation of 'Doe' and
undo an unjust decision in which she was an unwilling part. While we
are saddened by her loss, we rejoice that her faith has ensured that
she is resting now in the loving arms of her Savior."
At
22 and pregnant with her fourth child, Sandra Cano sought legal
assistance from an attorney that she said duped her into thinking her
case would center on equal pay for women. Cano never considered an
abortion despite her dire circumstances and was at one point forced to
flee her home in Georgia for Oklahoma to avoid an abortion that has been
scheduled for her by her attorney. She always considered herself an
unwilling "pawn" used by the unscrupulous to advance their radical
abortion agenda.
