COLORADO SPRINGS, January 23, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A growing number of
celebrities are lending their name to the pro-life cause. Swimsuit model Kathy Ireland, Emmy award-winning TV actress Patricia Heaton, and movie star Jennifer O'Neill have all publicly declared their opposition to abortion, writes Carrie Gordon-Earll of Focus on the Family.
"For [Kathy] Ireland, the humanity of the preborn child in the womb makes it impossible for her to accept that abortion is good for women. Heaton takes her cue from the founders of traditional feminism--early suffragettes-who vehemently opposed abortion as the ultimate exploitation of women. And O'Neill's personal story echoes the emotional difficulty many women experience after an abortion," writes Gordon-Earll.
"Unfortunately," she adds, "abortion has become the cultural default position--and women have gotten the message that in less than ideal circumstances, you are better off to abort your child. Society accepts abortion as an easy out, not just for women, but for all of us. Abortion will never be rare as long as we allow it to be the default position. Abortion is no choice for a woman who thinks that it is her only choice."
