Sometimes the personal experiences behind public events are very surprising.
The famous legal case "Roe v Wade" in the US resulted in legalised abortion in that country. The real person behind the pseudonym "Jane Roe" was Norma McCorvey who has since become a campaigner against abortion:

Faced with this, the "pro-choice" campaigners say that it is the result of the Roe v Wade case that matters, not the individuals involved.
Norma McCorvey says "If they don't care about me, how can they possibly care about anyone else?"
