Norma Rae McCorvey left an abusive home at age 15. She married at 16, was a mother at 17, came out as lesbian at 18. And in 1973 she became the anonymous plaintiff Jane Roe in the landmark Supreme Court ruling on abortion. Roe vs. Roe, produced for Cinemax's "Reel Life" series, shows McCorvey to be a woman of immense contradictions and brutal honesty. She speaks openly of feeling used and abandoned by the pro-choice movement's leadership, of finding the courage after years of depression to speak out on behalf of abortion rights, and of her 1995 conversion to Fundamentalist Christianity and to the anti-abortion crusade. McCorvey's partner of 28 years, pro-choice activist Connie Gonzales, shares the spotlight in this remarkable film, allowing us to see McCorvey’s personal strengths and needs through the lens of a long-term lesbian relationship. One touching, bizarre scene shows the two women driving to work together and kissing good-bye in the parking lot of a suburban Dallas strip mall – Gonzales headed to her job at an abortion clinic and McCorvey to the neighboring Operation Rescue office.
