especially big fans of Nick Loeb and Cathy Allen’s recent
Roe V. Wade, granting an F grade to the stridently right-wing (and yet, not even entertainingly bonkers) anti-abortion movie. Indeed, the film ended up seemingfar more interesting for its behind-the-scenes struggles than for the highly skewed version of history it was trying to tell; Loeb and co. famously had a very hard time making it, because, as soon as people got a grasp of the movie’s real intent including actors, crew people, and Loeb’s own original co-director they bailed on the project en masse.

Director and co-writer Nick Loeb (who also acts in the film), reveals the motivations, methods, and manipulations that helped produce the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, and I believe his team succeeded in that regard.
There were facts presented of which I was not aware, like the fact that right to privacy enshrined in the 9th Amendment, and the protections and due process for all people enshrined in the 14th Amendment were primary drivers on which the decision was hinged.

The fact that the red-carpet event is debuting at a gathering for conservatives indicates a pro-life tilt that s practically guaranteed to thrill the assembled while irritating the pro-choice crowd. And that s even before revealing that the film features some of the political left s most hated enemies, including MyPillow guy Mike Lindell, who plays a reporter in the film about the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.
