The Daily Mail is reporting on the continuing resistance to this illuminating project which is being produced and directed by Nick Loeb, the Hollywood star who made headlines recently with his epic battle to save frozen embyros made with his ex-wife Sofia Vergara. Loeb was recently in New York preparing to shoot near some of the city’s landmarks but were unable to get permits.
The crew was able to “steal a shot” by obtaining a permit to shoot on the street outside the Plaza. According to Plaza Hotel management, they insist the rejection of the permit had nothing to do with the film’s content but concerned “budget restrictions and potential operational impact to the guest experience.”
Only St. Patrick’s Cathedral granted the filmmaker special permission to shoot inside of the church and on their outdoor premises.
This is just the latest in a long string of troubles the film has encountered by abortion supporters who are refusing to participate in the telling of this very important story.
In January, Facebook blocked their crowdfunding site, banned them from inviting friends to “like” their page and from “sharing” paid ads.
Earlier this summer, both Tulane University and Louisiana State University were among sites that rejected the crew.
“They refused to put it in writing, but they told us on the phone it was due to content,” Loeb told the Hollywood Reporter at the time.
Both institutions have denied his claim.
Producers were also renting a synagogue in New Orleans for catering and as a place for extras to gather. “Once they found out what the film was about, they locked us out. We had to call the police so that the extras and caterers could retrieve their possessions,“ Loeb said.
There’s a reason why this film is being blocked by so many people. It tells the long-hidden story of how the journey to Roe began with a woman named Margaret Sanger whose Negro project aimed at reducing the growth of the African American population in the U.S. The cause for the birth control and abortion movement that she began is eventually taken up by a famous abortionist known as Dr. Bernard Nathanson. He aligns himself with radical feminist Betty Friedan and the two begin to scour the country looking for a pregnant girl who can be used to sue the government for her right to have an abortion.
They find the perfect person in a poor girl with a 10th-grade education named Norma McCorvey who becomes the infamous “Jane Roe.” They convince Norma that she can have an abortion if she sues, even though they know that the case will never be resolved before the child is due to be born. “Jane Roe” then sues Henry Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County, and the now infamous case of Roe v. Wade is born.
We need to get behind this film and make sure it is completed and in movie theaters by the fall. Click here to help!
