A new report reveals some of the intense family drama behind pro-abortion activist Jane Fondas parents. The report describes how Fondas father was cold and a bully, as well as a shameless womaniser and Jane always blamed her manic depressive mother Frances for their break-up.
The report also indicates Fondas mother Frances had nine abortions before Jane was born and committed suicide.

janefondaAlways outspoken, Jane Fonda is making headlines once more after she returned to the subject of her tragic mother at the weekend, in a speech at a fundraising event in Beverly Hills for a rape victims charity.
The audience of philanthropists and activists was stunned when the 76-year-old actress revealed that her mother had killed herself after being sexually abused from the age of eight.
After looking through her mothers medical records, Jane discovered her terrible secret. She said: The minute that I read that, everything fell into place. She didnt say who had been responsible, but made clear it explained a lot. I knew [the reason for] the promiscuity, the endless plastic surgery, the guilt, the inability to love or be intimate, and I was able to forgive her and forgive myself, she said.
Friends say that her mothers suicide was the single most formative event in Fondas multi- faceted life.
In truth, however, abuse allegedly suffered by her mother during her childhood is just one of many unpleasant details in the history of the Hollywood acting dynasty.
Henry Fonda was a rising star in 1936 when he met Frances on the set of a British film, Wings Of The Morning, which he was making in Denham, Buckinghamshire. After a whirlwind romance, she chivvied him into getting married.

Frances was the daughter of an American industrialist whose family claimed ancestry from Henry VIIIs third wife Jane Seymour a fact that was reflected in Jane Fondas full name being Lady Jayne Seymour Fonda.
Jane Fonda has told friends she believes her mother was sexually abused by a piano tuner. She believe the ordeal left Frances traumatised, and turned her into a promiscuous adolescent who had nine abortions before Jane was born. Her first, much older husband, businessman George Brokaw, was a violent alcoholic who beat her savagely.
Obviously Frances had quite a bit on her plate emotionally including all of the relationship issues that ultimately caused her a mental breakdown and led to her taking her own life, but the multiple abortion undoubtedly played a role.
There have been numerous studies that found an association between abortion and suicide. Other studies have found a link between abortion and depression (which is a major risk factor for suicide). For example:
A 1995 study by A.C. Gilchrist in the British Journal of Psychiatry found that in women with no history of psychiatric illness, the rate of deliberate self-harm was 70 percent higher after abortion than after childbirth.
A 1996 study in Finland by pro-choice researcher Mika Gissler in the British Medical Journal found that the suicide rate was nearly six times greater among women who aborted than among women who gave birth.
A 2002 record-linkage study of California Medicaid patients in the Southern Medical Journal, which controlled for prior mental illness, found that suicide risk was 154 percent higher among women who aborted than among those who delivered.
A March 2004 report from the U.S. National Institutes of Health revealed that suicide is now the third leading cause of death among Americas young people. In fact, for teen girls and young women, the suicide rate has tripled over the past 25 years.
I have doubts about this. A woman who had abortions seventy years ago would have had them in secret, somewhere out of town. There would be no paper trail. No “medical records.”

As noted in the article, women who've aborted end up with much higher suicide rates. When I think back to high school, it certainly seems that the girls who were known to have abortions certainly had much higher rates of mental instability problems. When Fonda's mother committed suicide, she apparently was in a mental institution... and her husband had purportedly just told her a few days before that he wanted a divorce.
Oh, Bullchit, - - sounds to me like she’s trying to turn in her traitor card for a sympathy card. Not buyin’ any of it . . .
I had hoped for her suicide about 40 years or so ago.
Piss on 'em.
Thank you. Just think of all the damage this family has done and how different things might be if not for the molester. While I am pro life, I am pro death when it comes to molesters. Thank God I’ve never had to experience that.
I am feeling BS on the NINE abortion claim. Why? Well 70 plus years ago, I don’t think even doctors who treated the upper class (like Francis Finda) were so skilled that multiple D&Cs (w/o surgical implements and antibiotics that are available today) would result in a woman who could eventually carry 2 full term pregnancies. Medically, this claim, given the time frame and standards of the day, could have happened.
I think Jane is playing the “liberal cred” card (along with the “look at me! I’m still relevant” card as well).
Agree. I tend to think there’s a grain of truth to the story, but who’s alive who can contradict her? And isn’t a dramatic story in her world more valuable than the truth?
My thoughts exactly .
So....Hanoi Jane goes from “hardcore leftwing activist” shmoozing with the North Vietnamese while they are torturing our prisoners to......
Misunderstood victim of dysfunctional parents?
Sorry, not buying it. Traitor bitch knew what she was doing when she did it, AA gun saddle & all. Fonda Peters has spent 40+ years angrily denouncing the backlash she’s received for the treasonous things she did, (”the returning POWs are hypocrites and liars!”) and now she’s trying a new tack.
It’s futile to say I can’t wait until Fonda croaks because she has made her pact with Satan. He’ll keep her alive as long as her power of evil lasts on this Earth.
I’m a Vietnam vet & my Christian compassion is withheld for that worthless creep.
Poor Frances. She never could make the right decisions. She got it wrong ten out of ten times.
I wonder if the following Wikipedia info is true: “Frances Ford Fonda suffered from mental illness and committed suicide by cutting her throat with a razor on her 42nd birthday while she was a patient at Craig House, a Sanitarium in Beacon, New York. This suicide came days after Fonda asked her personally for a divorce and left hurt feelings on both sides.”
It’s sad that filth has attained such prominence in our world.
BS. Go to God, when reasoning true actions. What does this matter to you, at any rate?
What does that supposed family photo, say? In your wise advantage, by years, of insight?
I’ll let you interpret it for yourself.
It’s not too late Jane, you still have time to correct your mother’s mistake of not aborting you.
Her mother's inability to love or be intimate...
And thus is explained Fonda's indifference to the suffering of our POWs and of the Vietnamese people under Communism. She became what she lived.
I believe that God does not want us to commit suicide.
