Celebrity Quotes on
Abortion

MADONNA
Although Madonna doesn’t agree with us on abortion, she did
recognize
the beauty of a new child in her womb – a daughter whom she
named Lourdes.
“I was stunned when I saw on the ultrasound a tiny, living
creature
spinning around in my womb. Tap-dancing, I think. Waving its
tiny
arms around and trying to suck its thumb. I could have sworn I heard it
laughing.”

KATHY IRELAND
While appearing on the TV show “Politically
Incorrect,” Kathy Ireland
participated in a debate about abortion “rights”
and whether Florida should
approve “Choose Life” license plates. Now against
abortion, Kathy defended
babies in the womb by saying:
“I was once pro-choice and the thing that changed my mind
was, I read
my husband’s biology books, medical books, and what I
learned. . . At the
moment of conception, a life starts. And this life has its own unique
set
of DNA, which contains a blueprint for the whole genetic makeup. The
sex
is determined. We know there’s a life because
it’s growing and changing.” |

LAKITA GARTH
1995 Miss Black California
“If you’re pregnant, don’t compound the
problem by seeking an abortion.
Getting an abortion doesn’t solve anything. You are much
better off in
that situation to put the baby up for adoption because you might be
able
to help a couple that can’t have children.”
Lakita is a talented singer, dancer and motivational speaker. In 1998,
Lakita was invited to speak to Congress about the high cost of the
"sexual
revolution" and why she's saving sex for marriage. Click

NOELIA GARCIA
Model
This glamorous French model, whose clients have included top names
such as L’Oreal and Air France, is an active member of the
French human
rights group Le Treve de Dieu (God’s Reprieve). Noelia found
that models
she knew were frequently pressured by their agencies to have abortions
and she was appalled by it. “Modeling uses women as objects.
I was surrounded
by other models having abortions and became disgusted by it. I have
used
my body and my face to sell products. Now I am using them to protect
unborn
children against the consumer society that chucks away babies it does
not
want.” |

that’s
very wrong. I could never, ever have an abortion.”

Ben Folds
Singer/Songwriter
Did you hear "Brick" by Ben Folds Five? "Yeah, I'm kind of surprised
it's on the radio." That's what Ben Folds said when his hit song,
"Brick", raced up the charts. Why? Because the song's about abortion.
But Ben says it's about more
than that. He says it's about his own personal experience. "It's the
story of my senior year of high
school, basically. More so, it's about the fact that it happens and
there are emotional byproducts.
There's a reason why it's a big political issue - because it damages
lives."

Kathy Troccoli
Singer
See Kathy Troccoli's award-winning music video, A Baby's
Prayer
Kathy Troccoli has sung on the Tonight
Show with Jay Leno, toured with pop superstar Amy Grant and been a
guest host on VH1 . . .but the most important thing she believes
she's ever done is write the song "A Baby's Prayer," a song about
abortion from an unborn child's point of view.
Kathy says, "I received
a version of this song several years ago and prayed that God would
allow me to express the sacredness of life through the lyrics. What
better way to express it though the heart of a baby - a baby's
prayer." The song begins . . .
I can hear her talking with a friend
I think it's all about me
Oh how she can't have a baby now
My mommy doesn't see
That I feel her breath
I know her voice
Her blood it flows though my heart
God you know my greatest wish is that
We'd never get apart
Kathy's songs have been nominated for two Grammy's, but "A Baby's
Prayer" won the 1998 GMA Dove Award for Inspirational Song of The Year.
That's because Kathy inspires great hope for women hurting after
abortion.
"There have been other songs about abortion, but I wanted to
emphasize God's mercy and forgiveness for those involved in the tragedy
of abortion," Kathy said. Frequently, women are not able to forgive
themselves after an abortion. If you are one of those women, know that
God will forgive any sin for which you repent, including the sin of
abortion.
Unfortunately, many women presume on God's mercy and
abort their children anyway. Although God will forgive the sin of
abortion, Kathy warns that remorse and heartache will inevitably
follow, "Abortion always has victims. I know that from working in a
crisis pregnancy center. If you have an abortion or encourage someone
else to have an abortion, one day you'll regret it."
"A Baby's Prayer" had a very unique begging: "My co-writer, Scott
Brasher, wrote the music when he was watching a documentary on public
television about "Children of The Holocaust," Kathy said. "Just like
those innocent children who were sent to death by Nazis in World War
II, abortion has sent millions of innocent children to death in our
time."
Kathy strongly advocates saving sex
for marriage.
Kathy also believes that dressing modestly will help you
stay pure. Dressing modestly means not wearing suggestive or revealing
clothes that might tempt others to lustful thoughts. Not only are
sexual thoughts impure, but they can do and lead to pre-marital sex and
unplanned pregnancies which are often aborted.
"Virtue and modesty are
very important. They can help you prevent becoming one of the victims
of the tragedy of abortion, which has touched over 20 percent of the
women of America," Kathy said. "...sexual abstinence (before marriage) is
God's best way for you, regardless of your age." |
