Whatever happened to Jane Roe’s baby?Norma McCorvey, of Caddo-Comanche heritage, did not terminate the pregnancy that led her to become the anonymous plaintiff of the landmark US Supreme Court women’s rights case Roe v Wade because in 1971, when the motion was first argued, abortion in the US was illegal. The Jane Roe real-life child is now a woman in her fifties, and for most of her life she never knew she was her, nor, therefore, did she know the potential of her polarizing celebrity. In JANE’S BABY, it’s 2016, and this is about to change. A religious rights splinter group has blackmailed its way into learning the identity of the Roe baby, the product of a closed adoption. To what end, only a new Supreme Court case will reveal. Tourette’s-afflicted K9 bounty hunter Judge Drury, a Marine, stands in the way of the splinter group’s attempt at stacking the Supreme Court via blackmail, murder, arson, sleight of hand, and secret identities.
