Conservative media personality Glenn Beck announced Thursday that he purchased a collection of Roe v. Wade memorabilia to expose the "culture of death" surrounding the abortion rights won in the now-overturned landmark case.
"Roe v. Wade is history, and now that history is in the hands of a pro-life conservative," Beck said, according to a Friday report. "If we can use this to help expose this culture of death and Moloch worship, any monetary price we could personally pay would be worth it."

The material purchased by Beck previously belonged to Linda Coffee, the attorney who represented Norma McCorvey, "Jane Roe," in 1973.
Roughly 150 items and documents from the case are in the archive, including the affidavit signed by McCorvey and quill pens Coffee was given for arguing the case before the Supreme Court.
Coffee had placed the collection up for auction with Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles on March 3, the 53rd anniversary of Coffee's filing of the famous suit, according to the report.
"This is one of the most significant legal archives in American history, given the profound impact of Roe v. Wade," Nate Sanders, the auction owner, said in a statement following the sale.
"Not only did the case become one of the most prominent Supreme Court decisions of all-time, profoundly impacting life for American women, it also ignited a counter-debate that has polarized the nation since 1973," he added.
Bidding opened at $50,000, and Beck purchased the lot for $615,633 as an anonymous buyer.
Beck only revealed his identity as the buyer when he had the items "in-hand," the report noted.
The conservative radio host will debut the collection at "The Blueprints of Freedom" exhibit in Utah for a period this summer, he said.

"The Roe archive's inclusion in the exhibit will underscore that Coffee's bloody legacy has been undone in the service of life and a proper reading of the Constitution," Beck added.
