Filming For ‘Roe v. Wade’ Movie Rocked With Leftist Bigotry

Shooting for an upcoming Roe v. Wade feature film has been met with a deluge of leftist bigotry as locals along with cast and crew members slowly discover a pro-life film is being shot in their midst.

Directed by actor Nick Loeb, whom you may recall as being central to the Sofia Vergara controversy regarding frozen embryos, the film will explore the historical events that led to the infamous Roe decision that enshrined abortion as a constitutional right.

Though filming has been kept under a tight lid out of safety for the cast and crew, Loeb says the production has been fraught with outside hostility. In an interview, Loeb recalled a crew member telling him to “go f**k” himself upon learning of the film’s subject matter. Even a synagogue demonstrated hostility.

Even with the secrecy, it’s been a challenging shoot. At Louisiana State University, Loeb says, “we were told we were rejected due to our content, even though it will be a PG-rated film. They refused to put it in writing, but they told us on the phone it was due to content.” At Tulane, where Loeb is an alumnus, the film shot one day, but after the school newspaper reported on the nature of the project, producers were denied a second day of shooting, according to Loeb. (Both Tulane and LSU say logistics were the problem, not the content of the movie).

And then there was a synagogue in New Orleans that producers rented for catering and as a place for extras to hang out. “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 says.

But casting has been a problem throughout, as actors have walked away once they realized there was a pro-life tilt in the film. “We had to replace three local actors, including one who was to play Norma McCorvey, even after she begged for the role,” says Loeb.

From costumers to location scouts, a litany of crew members have left the production upon hearing of the subject matter, which all speaks to the Left’s hypocrisy, considering these very same people were happy to see the government force Christians to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding despite their moral misgivings.

“I have been doing research on the movie trying to figure out who is producing and what the gist of the story is and I finally found it and so I am withdrawing from this project,” said a location scout. “I am a staunch pro-abortion feminist activist and I will not be party to such horrible propaganda.”

Loeb says the film plans to tell the whole truth about Roe v. Wade, including the lies and manipulation that went into getting litigation off the ground.

“I have my own pro-life issue going on with my fight over embryos, but no one has really told the whole truth about Roe v. Wade in a film,” he said. “When I delved into this, I discovered conspiracy theories, fake news, made-up statistics and a whole lot of people involved who switched their positions from pro-choice to pro-life, including Norma.”
