Lisa Twigg, 17, and Karie Garafola, 17, protest in front of the U.S. Supreme Court Jan. 9, the first day of Judge Samuel Alito Jr.’s confirmation hearing in Washington. The signs refer to Norma McCorvey, known as “Jane Roe,” who was the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court’s landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion. In 1995, McCorvey began fighting against abortion; she became a Catholic in 1998. (CNS photo/Paul Haring) (Jan. 9, 2006) See story to come.
