DALLAS — A historic archive from the landmark Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade will be auctioned Friday in California.
The collection belongs to Dallas attorney Linda Coffee, who filed the lawsuit in Texas that eventually gave women the constitutional right to abortion for nearly 50 years.
Included in the archive are dozens of letters and documents, including the original affidavit signed by Norma McCorvey, known as “Jane Roe,” and a letter from Coffee to her co-counsel, Sarah Weddington.
