- By 1979, Harriet Miers, then in her mid-30s, had accomplished
what some people take a lifetime to achieve. She was a partner at Locke
Purnell Boren Laney & Neely, one of the most prestigious law firms
in the South.
-
- But she still felt something was missing in her life.
-
- The NEW YORK TIMES is set to splash the "something"
on Page Ones on Wednesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
-
- It was after a series of long discussions with Nathan
Hecht, a junior colleague and sweetheart, that led her to a decision that
many of the people around her say changed Miers life.
-
- "She decided that she wanted faith to be a bigger
part of her life," Hecht said. "One evening she called me to
her office and said she was ready to make a commitment," to accept
Jesus Christ as her savior and be born again, Hecht said. Miers became
an evangelical Christian and began identifying more with the Republican
Party than with the Democrats who had long held sway over Texas politics.
-
- "Yes, she goes to a pro-life church," Hecht
said, adding, "I know Harriet is, too." The two attended "two
or three" anti-abortion fundraising dinners in the early 1990s, he
said, but added she had not otherwise been active in the anti-abortion
movement. "You can be just as pro-life as the day is long and can
decide the Constitution requires Roe" to be upheld, he said.
