13 celebs who aren’t afraid to stand up for the unborn

4. Patricia Heaton

She was everybody’s favorite wife and mom in Everybody Loves Raymond. In fact, that role earned her an Emmy. But besides being a great actress, Patricia Heaton is one of Hollywood’s most outspoken women against abortion. And she’s a Christian, too. That’s a double whammy in Tinsel Town!

“I find it impossible to subscribe to a philosophy that believes that the destruction of human life is a legitimate solution to a problem that is mostly social, economic and psychological,” said Heaton. “In reality, most women ‘choose’ abortion because they believe they have no other choice.”

The actress and pro-life advocate became the honorary co-chair of Feminists for Life in 1998 because of her efforts to steer women away from choosing abortion.
