I reviewed the new Hulu doc AKA Jane Roe, where “Jane Roe” (aka Norma McCorvey) makes her “death bed confession”, which I’m sure you’ve all heard about by now: it’s made international headlines, obviously since advance press screeners went out this week – the news exploded around the world. I walked away from this mostly blown away by the interview with Rev. Schenck. I treasure honesty like he shows. It’s rare in today’s black-and-white no-forgiveness-no-mercy world. This will be a minority opinion. But he is rocked to the CORE by what he was a part of, and he is willing to say he was wrong, and to do what he can do to repent and make it right. He came off devastated, as far as I’m concerned. I am also haunted by Connie, Norma’s life-partner, whom she was forced to relinquish once she got all tangled up with those Christian right bozos. Haunted by the whole thing.
