Visibly pregnant Michelle Williams defends the pro-choice cause at the Golden Globes

Actress says she wouldn’t have been successful without ’employing a woman’s right to choose’

By Brittany Smith

Last week, actress Michelle Wiliams used her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes to pander to the pro-choice crowd.

Williams won for best actress in a limited series for Fosse/Verdon.

“I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose,” she said. “I know my choices might look different than yours. But thank God or whomever you pray to that we live in a country founded on the principle that I am free to live by my faith, and you are free to live by yours.”

Twitter erupted largely in support of Williams’ speech, although others like actress and pro-life advocate Ashley Bratcher disagreed.

The Unplanned actress told the Washington Examiner that she had an unplanned pregnancy but it didn’t stop her from having a career.

“Society makes us believe that you can’t have a baby and have a successful career or go to school,” Bratcher said. “That’s exactly what we don’t need to hear. That’s exactly the opposite of female empowerment.”

Save the Storks spokesperson Victoria Robinson agreed.

“It’s a sad day in America when a woman can proudly, boldly and publically state that the value of a piece of steel, a statute she holds in her hand, is more significant than the life of her own unborn child,” Robinson said.

DEAR READER

We hope this article enlightened and inspired you to stand up for life.

Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortions are still prevalent in our nation. As a response to the overturning, the media: from the news to entertainment sources to even political figures and celebrities, have pushed abortion as an ongoing agenda, shaping the way this generation thinks and acts. Misinformation is being spread every day, and people are sadly believing the lies.

Our articles and stories aim to tell one thing: the truth.

We know that it is both a blessing and a challenge to understand the reality of abortion, because knowledge incites belief, and belief incites action. But we’re in this together. We believe that we can make abortion unthinkable.

With your support, we look forward to a future where young women are empowered to fight for their own rights: a right to bring life into the world, to be fearless leaders, to be examples of hope, strength, and undeterred resilience. We look forward to a future where life can happen.

If this article strengthened your belief to reach women everywhere with the truth and to let life happen, then please consider helping us extend our reach by making a gift right now. Your gift of just $10 or $20 helps our mission to create a story of hope and empowerment for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy.

We aim to create a culture that views “pro-life” as equivalent to having empathy and compassion, providing holistic care (before and beyond pregnancy) and education, and most importantly, choosing to speak and act in love. We are pro-life, pro-love, pro-woman, pro-solution.

Don’t just be part of the movement, be part of the solution, and give today.
