Norma McCorvey, the woman known as Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade, made the shocking confession in an upcoming documentary about her life.
In the “deathbed confession,” McCorvey, who died in 2017, revealed to the makers of the FX documentary “AKA Jane Roe” that leaders of the evangelical religious movement paid her to switch sides on the issue. The moment reportedly occurs in the final minutes of the film, which airs Friday.
The forthcoming documentary examines her sudden change of course after befriending two evangelical leaders, the Rev. Flip Benham and the Rev. Rob Schenck.
