Michelle Williams To Star In Underground Abortion Network Drama ‘This Is Jane’ For Amazon Studios
Deadline ^ | May 22, 2018 | Mike Fleming Jr

Posted on 05/22/2018 6:36:17 PM PDT by EdnaMode

Michelle Williams has been set by Amazon Studios to star in and produce This Is Jane, the true story of a Chicago woman who founded and ran the underground abortion service Jane. Kimberly Peirce is directing, and John Lesher, Williams and Peter Heller are producing.

The drama is based on Laura Kaplan’s nonfiction book The Story of Jane: The Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service. Jane was run by a group of women who taught themselves how to perform abortions in the years before Roe v. Wade. From 1968-73, they helped more than 11,000 women by providing safe – albeit illegal – services denied by the medical establishment. They also provided health education and counseling. Williams will play the role of Jane founder, known as Jenny.

Williams can currently be seen starring opposite Amy Schumer in the STX Comedy I Feel Pretty, and she stars opposite Tom Hardy and Riz Ahmed in the Ruben Fleischer-directed Spider-Man spinoff Venom, which opens October 5. She is currently starring alongside Julianne Moore in the Bart Freundlich-directed After The Wedding.

Williams is repped by WME, Brillstein Entertainment and Bloom, Hergott.

There is nothing I enjoy better than kicking back with the family, making a batch of popcorn, and watching women on tv desperately try to kill babies. It’s just so relaxing.

Sick propaganda. No wonder the woman practically shaved her head. Out of shame for participating in the promotion of murder of fellow human beings. Sick.

Amy Schumer. 'Nuff said. Sounds like a how to murder a child movie.

In the Hollywood version, Kermit Gosnell will be played by Morgan Freeman and portrayed as a wise, courageous humanitarian.

I know right? Sadly there are at least two more abortion movies in development two (one with Sandra Bullock, the other starring Elisabeth Moss).

Celebrating the butchering of the most innocent. Can we get much lower?

She should be ashamed of glorifying the murder of innocent little preborn babies.

Safe ? Infanticide is safe ? Is it safe ?

They’re a bunch of damned murderers, and should be in jail until they die, and certainly not celebrated on TV. There is going to be a reckoning someday.

I dunno. In a really safe abortion, everybody would come out OK.

She was on the show Dawson’s Creek before starting a movie career. She has been nominated for a few Oscars. She and Heath Ledger had a child together.

No one will watch this creepy film except for a few demented liberals.

The left cannot produce programming which is appealing.
