The Daily Beast has obtained the screenplay for the craziest, most controversial movie of the year. And its a doozy.Yesterday, The Daily Beast published an exclusive report chronicling the filming of Roe v. Wade, an anti-abortion movie beset by chaos.
The brainchild of Nick Loeb, a wealthy conservative banking heir most famous for his embryo battle with ex-fiancée Sofia Vergara, and his producing partner Cathy Allyn, Roe v. Wade depicts the events leading up to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that granted women the legal right to have an abortiona very timely film given Justice Anthony Kennedys recent retirement announcement. It began filming on June 15 in and around New Orleans under the fake title 1973, with the shoot set to wrap on July 15.
Crew members subsequently came forward to The Daily Beast, complaining about various production problemsfrom cast, crew and locations abandoning the project after learning theyd been misled on the extremity of the films anti-abortion content to the sheer directorial incompetence of first-timers Loeb and Allyn. Much of the cast and crew were also kept in the dark concerning two of the films controversial cameos: Tomi Lahren and Milo Yiannopoulos, the latter portraying a callous British doctor who performs 32 abortions in five hours.
The Daily Beast has obtained a copy of the films shooting script that sheds even more light on its severe anti-abortion stance.

Also the control-womens-bodies movement is a big loser for the right in the long term.
If they want to keep banging the abortion drum, let them.
It could potentially help them in 2018 get out their base. But they are just turning most voters against the GOP permanently, as the electoral becomes more secular.
