Available digitally this April 2nd, “Roe v. Wade” follows Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Dr. Mildred Jefferson as they square off in a national battle in this untold conspiracy leading to the most famous and controversial court case in history. (Rated PG-13)
The movie also provides an inside view of the case and the people behind it, including Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger played by Oscar winner Jon Voight, and Justice William J. Brennan, played by Robert Davi.
The movie’s Producer Nick Loeb stars in the film as abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the co-founder of NARAL, who ultimately became a pro-life activist.
The film begins with Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, who launched an initiative called “The Negro Project.” She gives a speech at a KKK rally, describing her intentions to reduce the growth of the African American population by legalizing abortions. Quickly, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the most outspoken doctor performing abortions during this time, joins her cause, followed by outspoken feminist Betty Friedan.
A team of activists begin to search the country, looking for a pregnant girl they can use to sue the government for her right to have an abortion. They find the perfect pawn: a broke girl with a 10th-grade education named Norma McCorvey, now famously known as “Jane Roe.” We watch as Norma and her legal team sue Henry Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County.
Roe v. Wade is born.
Nick Loeb, the movie’s director, said he was originally pro-choice growing up but has since changed his views as an adult. Loeb said he was drawn to playing the movie’s protagonist, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, an abortionist who became one of the country’s leading pro-life activists, because they both experienced personal conversions.
Now that the activists successfully had the case before both state and federal courts, they had to convince the Supreme Court Justices to vote their way. Their advocates fed fake polls and statistics to the media, and Bernard and Betty Friedman from Planned Parenthood even brought Hollywood on board, persuading studio executives to create TV shows and movies supporting abortion. This was all done to influence public opinion and manipulate the courts.
There were a few citizens willing to speak up for the rights of the unborn. This fight is led by the film’s protagonist, Dr. Mildred Jefferson, the first African American woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School. She joined the Catholics and a passionate group of other citizens who attempt to educate Americans on the truth, but they soon discover they are up against the most well-funded revolution in 20th century America.

The Bottom Line:
“There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.” Proverbs 6:16-19
