This week, “AKA Jane Roe”\u2014a documentary hyped by media as the “deathbed confession” of Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in the Roe v. Wade<\/em> Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion throughout the U.S.\u2014is being released. But filmmaker Nick Sweeney’s narrative as described by the media varies drastically from the accounts<\/a> of McCorvey’s longtime pro-life friends<\/a>. According to Variety<\/a>, in the film, McCorvey allegedly “admits that anti-abortion groups paid her to switch over to their side in the abortion debate.”\u00a0The decision to release the film about McCorvey years after her death\u2014when she has no way of clarifying or defending her own alleged comments\u2014has caused many to question the veracity of the film’s potentially heavily edited content. This skepticism appears to be with good reason.<\/p>\n

Filmmaker Nick Sweeney isn’t the only person behind the making of this documentary, due to come out weeks before one of the most important Supreme Court decisions the nation has seen since Roe v. Wade<\/em>. The other names behind the film reveal a heavy pro-abortion, pro-Planned Parenthood bias.<\/p>\n
