Sarah Weddington of Austin, best known as the attorney who represented Jane Roe in the U.S. Supreme Court case that legalized abortion, will be the keynote speaker at the 2018 PROUD Gala! Weddington argued Roe v. Wade before the Supreme Court in 1971 and 1972; the court ruled on the matter in 1973. She is thought to be the youngest person ever to win a case before the nation’s highest court. Weddington was in her 20s at the time.
