On June 23, 2005, for the first time, members of the United States
Congress heard the truth about the Doe v. Bolton case. Sandra Cano, who
was ''Mary Doe'' in Doe v. Bolton, testified before the United States
Judiciary Sub-committee on the Constitution.
THE FACTS
- Sandra Cano never had or wanted an abortion, and she never
testified in court in the Doe v. Button case, In fact, she has never
supported abortion. Sandra was pregnant when she went to legal aid
for help with a family matter.
- The Supreme Court decided the Doe case on the same day is Roe v.
Wade which is known as its companion case. Because Doe allowed a
health exception, an abortion can be performed until the day of
birth. Doe ultimately resulted in the horrific procedure known as
partial-birth abortion.
- Sandra worked for years to get the court records of her case
unsealed.
- Sandra asked The Justice Foundation to represent her in an
effort to reverse Doe v. Bolton. In 2003, The Justice Foundation
filed a motion to reverse Doe v. Bolton.
