Roe V. Wade Abortion Rights Lawyer Sarah Weddington Dead at 76
Sarah Weddington, one of the abortion rights attorneys who argued the Roe v. Wade case before the Supreme Court in 1973, died on Sunday at the age of 76.
“Sarah Weddington died this morning after a series of health issues,” Susan Hays, a former student of Weddington’s said in a tweet on Sunday.
Sarah Weddington died this morning after a series of health issues. With Linda Coffee she filed the first case of her legal career, Roe v. Wade, fresh out of law school. She was my professor at UT, the best writing instructor I ever had, and a great mentor. 1/
