A new report reveals some of the intense family drama behind pro-abortion activist Jane Fonda’s parents. The report describes how Fonda’s 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 Fonda’s 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 mother’s medical records, Jane discovered her terrible secret. She said: ‘The minute that I read that, everything fell into place.’ She didn’t 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 mother’s suicide was the single most formative event in Fonda’s 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 VIII’s third wife Jane Seymour – a fact that was reflected in Jane Fonda’s 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 America’s young people. In fact, for teen girls and young women, the suicide rate has tripled over the past 25 years.
Perhaps. I believe Jane, was fully self absorbed, and with out reverence for anyone, except herself. The last 30 seconds, can be a value. Hopefully
It was in a biography about Reagan.
I read that Marilyn Monroe had about that many if not more. Other movie stars of her time did the same. Sometimes it was called a “D&C” sometimes they went to Tijuana, Mexico where it was legal.
Indeed, optiguy, thank God we never experienced such evil, which roams about the earth seeking the ruin and destruction of the innocent and the vulnerable.
Jesus, Himself, gave us the imagery: millstone, neck, sea.
Did you see her latest film “This is Where I Leave you”? It was probably her best film she ever did. I think she is an incredible actress and a person above approach. Too bad liberals couldn’t learn a thing or two from Jane. From 9 to 5 to the 3 new movies out in the next six months, she is probably the best actress in history.
/sarc.......lol. I specifically did that just for you. I love getting a rise out of ya.
I think she is a fine actress and was very beautiful with perfect bone structure. She got in over her head with Hollywood people and progressive activists. She is used by the progressives for propaganda purposes and has had a life of misery. But her misery is nothing compared to the suffering of my brothers in captivity.

Her medical report included details of 9 abortions? Weren’t such matters kept “off the books”?
Would have been called a D&C or she went to Tijuana Mexico and got one. Movie stars got them all the time back then it was no secret in Hollywood.
+1. Me too.
They were in her medical file (if Hanoi Jane is to be believed).
I know some states had it legal before roe vs wade. New York was one of them. Don’t know which other states.
Her mother could have told her doctor “I had an abortion in Mexico”. If this is true nothing could have done to her legally back then because anything went in Tijuana.
This reads like as if Jane Fonda's mother committed suicide when Jane Fonda was still a Baby.
Jane Fonda's mother killed herself when Jane Fonda was 12 years old.
