“Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade Admits She Was Paid by Christian Right to Pretend to Be Pro-Life
“It was all an act,” she admitted.
Pro-life (more like Pro-Lie) hypocrites bribed Norma McCorvey — aka Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade fame — with hundreds of thousands of dollars to pretend to change her mind and become anti-choice, as she confessed in “AKA Jane Roe,” a new, 79-minute documentary.
The documentary filmmaker Nick Sweeney asks: “Did [the evangelicals] use you as a trophy?”
“Of course,” she replies. “I was the Big Fish.”
“Do you think you would say that you used them?”
“Well,” says McCorvey, “I think it was a mutual thing. I took their money and they took me out in front of the cameras and told me what to say. That’s what I’d say.”
McCorvey, who “grew up queer, poor, and was sexually abused by a family member,” says in the film she still supports the right of a woman to choose abortion or not and “admits that her later turn to the anti-abortion camp as a born-again Christian was ‘all an act,’” the Daily Beast says.
Those so-called “Evangelicals” even fed her scripts to recite.

Not everyone is surprised by this revelation.
I’m sorry but “Jane Roe” getting paid to “change her mind on abortion” & serve as a tool for the anti-abortion movement is only surprising if you’ve never watched an anti-choicer picket a clinic, go to that clinic for an abortion then return to picket the very ppl who helped them

Wow. Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade fame supposedly became an evangelical anti-abortion crusader in the ’90s. Turns out it was all an act — the right paid her to play the role. Is there a single element of US conservatism that is not utterly fraudulent? https://t.co/Y69U59ixGJ

Speaking of people who pretend to be pro-life…
Imagine being Jane Roe & demonizing a procedure you’d once utilized; working to criminalize it for others, just for professional gain.

All we have to say is, Evangelicals should know God is not a fan of lying! In fact, lying without repentance and forgiveness leads to “the second death” described in Revelation, which says, “all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8).
