Who is the real-life Jane Roe? A new documentary tries to answer that question
, premiering Friday, attempts to go beyond the famous alias and get to know the real McCorvey, who died in 2017.
McCorvey says she believed in the cause: “I know how I felt when I found out I was pregnant,” she said through tears in one of the nursing home interviews, “and I wasn’t going to let another woman feel that way: not cheap, dirty, and no good. Women make mistakes, and they make mistakes with men.” “She was not the poster girl that would have been helpful to the pro-choice movement,” Taft said. “However, an articulate, educated person could not have been the plaintiff in.” It didn’t help that, in a 1987 interview, McCorvey said she was not raped after all, giving possible ammunition to anti-choice advocates saying that the Supreme Court’s decision should be invalidated; alleging that it was built on a lie.
That McCorvey allowed herself to be bought stung for advocates like Taft. “It’s high stakes,” she said of the repeated challenges toThe public appetite for a piece of her—and her apparent willingness to give it—literally continued until McCorvey’s death, as FX’s cameras rolled on some of her last moments with her daughter, Melissa, and even scans her face in an open casket. It can seem impossible, both forviewers and for McCorvey herself, to separate her from her symbolic name.

America Never Paid Its Debt to Jane RoePop culture has not been kind to Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff at the center of Roe v. Wade. Cinematic and written depictions of McCorvey have alternated between painting her as a dumb country bumpkin or a calculating con artist, someone who was willing to pump both sides of the abortion picket lines for financial gain. FX’s new documentary about McCorvey’s life, AKA Jane Roe, allows McCorvey (who died in 2017) to tell her own story. But the complicated question of what a country that enjoys access to safe and legal abortion owes the woman whose story made that possible remains unanswered in a documentary that refuses to take sides.\n
