Norma McCorvey, the woman known as “Jane Roe” in the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion, said she was lying when she switched to support the anti-abortion movement, saying she had been paid to do so.
In a new documentary, made before her death in 2017 and due to be broadcast on Friday, McCorvey makes what she calls a “deathbed confession.”
“I took their money and they took me out in front of the cameras and told me what to say,” she says on camera. “I did it well too. I am a good actress. Of course, I’m not acting now.”

The Anti-Abortion movement is a deadly, violent and oftentimes terrorist group of right-wing activists, who have created more havoc than the perceived damage they claim to be in a women’s right to control her body and determine between herself, her doctor and her God as to whether to have an abortion.
Just as they used this poor women, they use politician and other officials through their financial support to enact laws to deny women their basis rights.
Across American this movement is using every means possible to overturn Roe vs Wade, and with the help of willing right-wing Republican run states, every effort is being made to make it harder for women to have an abortion and, even more importantly, the basic healthcare they obtain at abortion clinics.
Under Trump, who has attached himself to the Christian Right and every militant right-wing organization, and with the help of Moscow Mitch, who sees this as his political mission, all higher federal courts are being packed with young right-wing judges, whose sole purpose will be to block future legislative effort by Democratic lead governments, whether at states or federal level.
Their greatest fear is that in an increasingly minority-majority country buttressed by any increase in immigration from certain countries and certain groups of people, it lessens Republican power and the opportunity to be in charge at both the federal and state levels
Right-wing courts then become their last refuge to ensure not only that one of their agenda items, the elimination of abortion rights for women is achieved, but equally important white supremacy is maintained.
