AMERICA’S PRO-LIFE activists could scarcely believe their luck when Norma McCorvey changed her mind about abortion in 1995. For two decades the “Jane Roe” plaintiff in, the Supreme Court ruling that in 1973 made abortion a constitutional right, had been a heroine to pro-choice activists. Overnight, she became one to anti-abortionists.
Weaving archival footage with more recent commentary from McCorvey and the activists who worked with her, the documentary is a fascinating look at the effects ofon the woman who instigated it. At times, the film verges on the voyeuristic: it begins with several seconds of McCorvey struggling for breath before she declares: “this is my deathbed confession”. But it mostly succeeds in conveying the complexity of its subject in a way that is respectful.
In 1995 he baptised her on national TV and Operation Rescue got a new recruit. The drama of this moment is apparent in footage of a church service McCorvey attended soon afterwards: standing at the lectern she repeatedly apologises for “leading innocent children to a senseless and terrible death”. Perhaps McCorvey should not have been used as a figurehead for either position. Her vulnerability was obvious to the ministers who exploited her, as Mr Schenck admits; it is hard not to feel that she would have been better off keeping a low profile after. As a plain-talking 69-year-old there is not a whiff of the activist’s zeal about her. “If a young woman wants to have an abortion, fine, you know, it’s no skin off my ass”, she says at one point.
you mean how she was paid a TON to reverse her opinion? But then that is how all Politicians work, so...
Not Overnight. But in payment.
They paid for her
Not overnight. We've known about Norma's journey for years.
Ironically her lawyer represented Harvey Weinstein, years later!

I heard her speak in person, and she had a very disturbing life. I feel like she was used as a pawn, and I hope that men will start respecting women sometime soon, so we can get married.
