"Jane Roe" speaks: "I was paid to speak against abortion."

What if she was paid to say that?

Well, now it's just a stack of turtles all the way down.

Why would anyone listen to a woman who we already know will say whatever she is paid to say?
Perhaps we should apply that same principle to elections.

Ah, but I quoted Reverend Robert Schenck, the guy who paid the woman to say what he wanted her to say.

“She was telling the truth when she supported my position, and lying when not. I will need unassailable evidence to convince me otherwise.”

Pretty much everybody.

You can go one step further and weight the evidence:
- there is no evidence to suggest that she was paid to say X (the "pro-choice" stuff)
- now there is evidence indicating that she was paid to say Y (the "pro-life" stuff)
- there is no evidence to suggest that she is being paid to say Z (her "deathbed confession" saying that she was paid to to say Y, including collaborating confession by the person who paid her)
- there is no evidence to suggest that the collaborating confessor was paid to do so
None of these need to change your conviction on the underlying pro-choice vs. pro-life issue, of course. Still, the evidence favors her "deathbed confession" being true.
Separately, I am also curious if there are verified cases of former "pro-choice" spokespeople confessed to (or having been exposed) as being actually "pro-life" but merely toed the "pro-choice" line in public in exchange for material gains. Maybe there is zero "pro-life" person ever sold out to toe the "pro-choice" line in public?

It shouldn't actually matter what one person thinks, whether she's telling the truth or not. Millions of people have had abortions, and millions of people think it's wrong.

Obviously, her lawyer is a completely unbiased source.
