The woman behind the 1973 ruling legalising abortion in the US is seen admitting in a new documentary that her stunning change of heart on the issue in later life was "all an act".
Norma McCorvey, known as Jane Roe in the US Supreme Court's decision on Roe v Wade, shocked the country in 1995 when she came out against abortion.
But in new footage, McCorvey alleges she was paid to switch sides.
The documentary, AKA Jane Roe, airs this Friday on the US channel FX.
The programme was filmed in the last months of McCorvey's life before her death at age 69 in 2017 in Texas.
The Supreme Court ruling came after McCorvey, then a 25-year-old single woman under the pseudonym "Jane Roe", challenged the criminal abortion laws in Texas that forbade abortion as unconstitutional except in cases where the mother's life was in danger.
Henry Wade was the Texas attorney general who defended the anti-abortion law. McCorvey first filed the case in 1969, when she was pregnant with her third child and claimed that she had been raped. But the case was rejected and she was forced to give birth.
In her "deathbed confession", as she calls it, a visibly ailing McCorvey says she only became an anti-abortion activist because she was paid by evangelical groups.
"I was the big fish," she said. "I think it was a mutual thing. I took their money and they'd put me out in front of the cameras and tell me what to say.
"That's what I'd say. It was all an act. I did it well too. I am a good actress. Of course, I'm not acting now."
She added: "If a young woman wants to have an abortion, that's no skin off my ass. That's why they

Looks like Roe is a ho
Um, ok?
This vile creature told the police a racial-tinged lie in an attempt to kill her baby, went on to fight in the courts to kill her baby, lied for years about having had a change of heart with regard to her pursuit of legally being able to kill her baby, pretended to be both straight and lesbian, etc. But we should believe all women...
What’s more likely, is that in her waning days she was paid to say it was all an act.
Women been lyin to men since Adam and Eve.
Can’t live with them, can’t live without them...
selections from "panic" title search, turns out, the left is either in panic, or feigns panic, even when it isn't being described as in panic, and I didn't include most of the 100+ topics about the Coronapanic.
I doubt theres a temperature “choice” where shes going. And yes “Roe was a ho “ is spot on , 3 kids and no baby daddy. She blamed it on sexual abuse as a child. I blame her parents for never introducing her to Jesus. And shame on the evangelicals who paid for her testimony knowing she was lying.
Yup. Her story for the Court was all a lie as well The whole case of Roe was based on falsehood.. She was for sale then to the abortion lobby, and later I guess she was for sale to the anti-abortion lobby. I think she qualifies It appears your observation is right on the money.
Judas’ betrayal was for money as well.
I would not want to face my maker with her baggage.
I wonder if she was surprised ?
So everybody here automatically believes what this article says without seeing the documentary in question or even considering there might be two sides to this story? Unbelievable.
ACUSATION: The woman behind ‘Roe vs. Wade’ didn’t change her mind on abortion. She was paid! - Shock and Horror!

Why would you believe the BBC. Numerous people who knew her personally (including the priest who was her spiritual advisor) have testified to the sincerity of her conversion and her embrace of pro-life Christian beliefs.
She may also have been suffering from dementia or other mental illness.
People are awfully quick to believe the same media they normally castigate. Here is an interview with Father Frank Pavone on Ms. McCovery.

“The evangelicals” deny ever having done any such thing. She was probably paid by the abortion lobby to “recant.”
S0, she is a liar as well as a murderer.
She sold her soul to Satan. I’ll bet Satan greeted her with open arms.
