"I feel good about myself, I really do. I feel like the weight of the world has just been lifted off my shoulders," Norma McCorvey (pictured, left) said.

The "Jane Roe" from the court case that legalized abortion is going back to court.

"We have filed it and what they have said in the past - you've come a long way baby. Well - we're getting our babies back. Thank you," McCorvey said at a news conference that sounded a bit like a revival, women told abortion horror stories while others cried and held signs that read: "I regret my abortion."

Peggy Sweeney of Trophy Club was one of them.

'Jane Roe' Seeks Reversal

"We need to speak up, those of us who have had abortions and know the pain and the anguish and the spiritual pain, the physical pain. We need to tell people. It's time to not be silent anymore," she said.

McCorvey and her attorneys are asking the court to consider 5,400 pages of new evidence that abortion hurts women, including 1,000 affidavits from women who tell of the devastating impact of abortion.

"I felt so evil, so dirty and so ashamed, and I don't want anybody else to feel this way again," Carole Lefreniere said.

"If I was to kill my 9-month-old, do I have that choice? But I can choose to kill a baby that's inside my womb, and it's a baby. It's not a blob of tissue ... and what about the baby? Let's talk about the baby -- the woman says she has a choice, but what about the baby? It has no choice," TeAndra Parker said.

The Texas attorney general's office and the Dallas district attorney each have 20 days to respond to the motion.
