Operation Rescue Responds to False FX Statements about Norma McCorvey
OPERATION RESCUE ^ | May 20, 2020 | Cheryl Sullenger

PRESS RELEASE

Wichita, Kansas – FX plans to air a so-called documentary about the life of Norma McCorvey, who was the “Jane Roe” on the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that decriminalized abortion in America.

“I knew Norma well, and at one time, she lived with my family in the Wichita, Kansas, area for several months. I knew her to be a straightforward, down-to-earth woman who was witty and kind. She loved children and adored my own five children,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “There is no way her Christian faith or her pro-life beliefs were false. The makers of ‘AKA Jane Roe’ should be ashamed that they took advantage of Norma in the vulnerable last days of her life, then released their spurious movie after she passed away when she could not defend herself.”

Sadly, Rob Schenck, who reportedly appears in the film, also accused Operation Rescue of paying Norma McCorvey to say she was pro-life and taking advantage of her.

“Nothing could be further from the truth. Operation Rescue loved, respected, and protected Norma, even taking her in to our own families,” said Newman. “Rob has turned on those he once called friends and is now trying to hurt us. It is very sad that his bitterness and confusion were also exploited by the filmmakers.”

It is no surprise that Director Nick Sweeney would come out with outrageous falsehoods about Norma and Operation Rescue to advance his own depraved, leftist, pro-abortion agenda. Because of that, he simply has no credibility.

Other controversial productions that Sweeney has been involved with include the following according to IMDb.com:

Born in the Wrong Body Transgender Kids Sex Robots Secrets of the Living Dolls (where men use elaborate costumes to transform into female dolls)

“The FX movie does not portray the real Norma McCorvey, who I knew well and called my friend. I saw her in unguarded moments and can verify she was 100 percent pro-life,” said Newman. “She spent more years trying to overturn Roe v. Wade than she spent as a pro-abortion activist. FX and everyone involved in smearing her name and life’s work to end abortion owe her memory and the entire Pro-Life Movement an apology.”

Quotes from Miss Norma:

"If they don't care about me, how can they possibly care about anyone else?"

"It's not easy. We mostly depend on the ministry for money, but the ministry is running out. We're down to paying half of a bill here and half of another there. If we have money, we send everybody $10."

"I felt like they only cared about what I could do for them, not what they could do for me."

"I think it’s safe to say that the entire abortion industry is based on a lie…. I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life undoing the law that bears my name,"

Soooooo, which Norma do we believe....the first ABORTION gal, the second PRO-LIFE Catholic, or the THIRD pro-abortion, pro-life hater?

Pastor Schenck has swung left... opposing Trump and the 2nd amendment, and disavowing his former opposition to abortion and gay marriage. It’s really extraordinary. Quite a convert for Satan. Pray for him.

Does it matter? By most accounts, Norma was a low-life, a junkie and a lesbian who, by accident of fate, became a trophy for both sides in the abortion debate. It’s a crazy thing. Pray for this poor woman’s soul but don’t lose any sleep over which side the “real Norma” came down on.

The documentary ignores Norma McCorvey's Senate Testimony from 2007.

But who cares? They choose truth over facts.

Will do. I met Flip Benham who baptized her at the Roy Moore 10 Comnandments rallies in Montgomery. He seemed to be a nice man. That’s also where I got to know Rob Schenck and Pat Mahoney and our group of 4 ladies ate lunch with them in D.C. when we went there. Heard both Schenck and Mahoney give their testimonies...thats why I am so shocked at Schenck...sigh

Okay, I just watched it. I have very mixed emotions. It wasn’t as bad as I was expecting except it was so sad to see the change in Schenck and I had a feeling he had to go through something traumatic to change in the way he has....feel more comfortable saying more in pm to you...will send shortly.

I think I’ll give it a watch. I’m honestly not familiar with Schenck.

I watched the HBO 4-episode limited series on Jeffrey Epstein. OMG! I could hardly contain myself!

Must watch! Ok going to check your PM. :)
