In its final 20 minutes, the documentary film AKA Jane Roe delivers quite the blow to conservatives who have weaponized the story of Jane Roe herself—real name, Norma McCorvey—to argue that people with uteruses should have to carry any and all pregnancies to term.
McCorvey, who died in 2017, became Jane Roe when, as a young homeless woman, she was unable to get a legal or safe abortion in the state of Texas. Her willingness to lend her experience to the legal case for abortion led to the passing of Roe v. Wade in 1973, which legalized abortions in all 50 states (though red states do all they can to get around this; recently, several have even used the COVID-19 pandemic to make abortions functionally impossible to procure). But conservatives had a field day in the mid ’90s when the assertive, media-savvy pro-choice advocate and activist McCorvey became an anti-abortion born-again ex-gay Christian with the help of leaders of the evangelical Christian right, Reverend Flip Benham (of the infamous Operation Rescue) and Reverend Rob Schenck.

I am ordained minister, but not a Christian. I am a Cosmic Universalist. That means I use some of the same methods and beliefs that the Buddhists and some Hindus use as well as other religions, too. I believe in reincarnation and meditation to achieve Cosmic Consciousness and when I die I will never come back to this planet or this human form. In my belief system one still has free will and can choose to move to a higher plane of existence in another form or even without a form, just staying in the Cosmic Consciousness. That is what I try to make people understand when I give them Spiritual advice. I have already experienced Cosmic Consciousness and learned from that, first hand, what the truth is.
P.S.: I should add that I have also learned from many books including the many books by Amit Goswami , Ph.D. (A world renowned physicist) which all allude to the same concept, as well as Dean Radin’s book “The Conscious Universe”, and ” The Immortal Mind and “The Intelligence of the Cosmos” by Ervin Laszlo all which give insight into my theory as well as some of Stephan’s theories. The Cosmic Consciousness of the Universe is what creates and sustains the Material Universe. One of the first books on the subject of Cosmic Consciousness comes from Richard Maurice Bucke, M.D. way back in 1901 after doing testing on his patients who had no brain activity, but could recall their memories of their operations which Dr. Bucke compiled in his book. I was first introduced to Meditation over 50 years ago with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi method (Hindu) and it changed my life; and was the reason I maintained a straight A average in college with a 4.0 cumulative score over the many years I spent studying the subject of Cosmic Consciousness and many other scientific subjects.
