Celebrities Who Are Openly Pro-Life

While Hollywood often seems to share the same opinions on social and political issues, many celebrities actually hold different views. A surprising number of actors, musicians, and athletes publicly support the pro-life movement, often because of their religious beliefs, personal values, or life experiences. Some actively campaign for this position and create related content, while others have simply shared personal stories that explain their beliefs. Here’s a look at some well-known figures who have openly discussed their pro-life convictions.

Patricia Heaton

Patricia Heaton, famous for playing Debra Barone on ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’, is a well-known advocate for the pro-life movement in Hollywood. She believes in what she calls a “consistent life ethic,” meaning she opposes abortion, capital punishment, and assisted suicide. Heaton has been an honorary chair for Feminists for Life, a group that helps women choose to have children. Even though it might be controversial in her industry, she often uses social media to share her views and support centers that help pregnant women.

He’s been seen wearing clothing supporting organizations like Abort73 and has marched in the March for Life.

He connects his views to his overall libertarian and conservative values, emphasizing individual freedom and protection.

Jim Caviezel

Following his role as Jesus in ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ Jim Caviezel became a dedicated advocate for Catholic beliefs and the pro-life movement.

Known for his faith, Caviezel adopted three children from China, all of whom had serious medical conditions. Throughout his career, he consistently chooses projects that reflect his personal values and religious convictions.

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson, the famous actor, is a strong opponent of abortion due to a deeply personal family history. He later learned his mother was actually his sister, who, as a teenager, was pressured to have an abortion but chose not to. Nicholson has explained that this experience shapes his firm belief that all lives deserve a chance, and he’s stated, “I’m very contra my constituency in terms of abortion because I’m positively against it. I don’t have the right to any other view.”

Andrea Bocelli

Opera star Andrea Bocelli recently shared a moving story about his birth in a video message for expectant mothers. Doctors had recommended his mother end her pregnancy because of potential health problems caused by appendicitis, but she decided to carry it to term. Bocelli, who was born with glaucoma and later lost his sight, believes his mother’s choice is the reason he’s alive and has had a successful career. He hopes his story will inspire others to choose life, even when faced with challenging medical diagnoses.

Céline Dion

Like many artists, Celine Dion’s views on life are rooted in her family’s past and the guidance her mother received. When her mother was expecting her 14th child, she considered abortion, but a priest advised her to continue the pregnancy. Dion has often shared this story, jokingly calling herself a “priest’s baby” and saying she exists because of that encouragement. Though she generally stays out of political discussions, her personal story is often used to highlight the potential in every unexpected pregnancy.

Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow, a former NFL quarterback and dedicated Christian, is well-known for his strong support of the pro-life movement. His mother’s decision not to have an abortion after becoming seriously ill while in the Philippines – a story shared in a Super Bowl ad – deeply influences his beliefs. Tebow frequently speaks at pro-life events, highlighting the importance of all human life. He also works to support adoption and children with special needs through his foundation, the Tim Tebow Foundation.

Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger, known as the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls and a TV star, almost didn’t take the role in the 2017 ‘Dirty Dancing’ remake because her character had an abortion. Ultimately, she decided to do the film to spark conversation about the issue, and used the opportunity to share her personal beliefs against abortion, which were shaped by her upbringing. Scherzinger’s mother was 18 when she became pregnant and chose to have her, a decision Nicole says is the reason she’s alive today. She wants to offer support and encouragement to women facing challenging pregnancies.

Martin Sheen

Martin Sheen is known for holding somewhat unusual political views. He’s a strong supporter of the Democratic party but also firmly opposes abortion, a position rooted in his belief that all human life is valuable. This ‘Consistent Life Ethic’ leads him to speak out against abortion, the death penalty, war, and assisted suicide. Sheen actively supports groups like Democrats for Life of America, emphasizing that protecting vulnerable people should include the unborn. His stance demonstrates that being pro-life isn’t limited to one political side; people across the political spectrum can hold this belief.

Nick Cannon

In 2005, Nick Cannon released the music video for his song ‘Can I Live,’ which powerfully tells the story of his mother almost having an abortion. The song and video show a young woman struggling with the decision at a clinic, ultimately choosing not to go through with it. Cannon has said the song is based on his own life and is meant to express his thankfulness for being alive. Although he has diverse political beliefs, this song is widely seen as a strong statement supporting the pro-life movement.

Kathy Ireland

You know, it’s fascinating to hear how people’s views can change, and Kathy Ireland’s story is a great example. I remember her as a supermodel, but she’s built this huge business empire, and now she’s a really outspoken advocate for the pro-life movement. Apparently, she used to be pro-choice, but she really dove into medical texts and became convinced that life starts at conception. She’s a big speaker for the Council for Life, and she always emphasizes that we need to support both the mother and the baby. What I really appreciate is that she’s against cutting funding for adoption agencies – she believes in supporting families in a complete way, which makes a lot of sense to me.

Stephen Baldwin

Stephen Baldwin, the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, is a devout Christian with strong conservative beliefs, particularly regarding the sanctity of life. He actively advocates for restricting abortion, participating in events and supporting politicians who share his views. He believes life is a gift from God and should be legally and culturally protected. Despite differing opinions within his well-known family, he consistently speaks out about his principles.

Kirk Cameron

He creates and stars in movies focused on traditional family values and the importance of life, like ‘Lifemark,’ which highlights the positive aspects of adoption. Cameron often speaks at churches and events, encouraging people to choose adoption instead of abortion. He sees adoption as more than just a way to build a family; it’s a meaningful act that aligns with his religious beliefs.

Candace Cameron Bure, similar to her brother Kirk, is very open about her Christian beliefs and her stance against abortion. The ‘Fuller House’ actress publicly supports pro-life groups, often wearing their merchandise and sharing information with her large social media following. While she encourages respectful conversation on the topic, she firmly believes in the moral and biological status of a fetus. Bure also stresses that being pro-life includes supporting women and families even after a child is born.

Chuck Norris

For decades, action movie star and martial arts expert Chuck Norris has been a vocal opponent of abortion. He’s written a lot about the humanity of unborn babies, frequently pointing to scientific information about how they develop. Norris has spoken out against the Roe v. Wade decision and has actively supported laws aimed at protecting life from the moment of conception. This work is part of his larger commitment to conservative values and his concerns about the country’s moral compass.

Jon Voight

Jon Voight, an Academy Award-winning actor, is well-known in Hollywood for his conservative views and strong opposition to abortion. He’s a regular participant in the March for Life and often speaks about the need to protect children for the sake of the nation’s future. Voight believes the Democratic Party’s stance on abortion is too extreme and damaging, and he often describes the issue as a fundamental fight for the country’s values and moral principles.

Kevin Sorbo

Kevin Sorbo, best known for his role as Hercules in ‘Hercules: The Legendary Journeys’, is a strong voice against Planned Parenthood. He’s publicly questioned the idea that abortion is essential healthcare, frequently using social media to encourage discussion. Along with his wife, Sam, Sorbo creates Christian films that promote their beliefs about family and being pro-life. He believes speaking out has led to lost opportunities in Hollywood, but he continues to share his views.

Dean Cain

As a movie critic, I’ve been following Dean Cain’s work both on screen and off, and it’s clear he’s deeply committed to the pro-life movement. Best known as Superman from ‘Lois & Clark,’ he’s become a vocal advocate for legislation like those ‘heartbeat bills’ popping up across the country. He’s constantly engaging in public discussions, emphasizing what he sees as the humanity of a fetus once a heartbeat is detectable. Beyond debate, he even produced the film ‘Gosnell,’ a rather disturbing dramatization of the Kermit Gosnell trial, intending to expose what he views as the troubling realities within the abortion industry. Ultimately, he consistently frames his work as a defense of those he believes are the most defenseless among us.

Eduardo Verástegui

Eduardo Verástegui, a Mexican actor and producer, is a prominent international advocate for the pro-life movement. He founded Manto de Guadalupe and produced the acclaimed film ‘Bella’, which tells a powerful story about choosing life. Verástegui frequently travels the world speaking about the importance of protecting life and has created clinics to support pregnant women. Driven by his Catholic beliefs, he believes in the power of art to inspire positive cultural change.

Jonathan Roumie

As a huge fan of ‘The Chosen,’ I was really moved to learn more about Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus. Beyond his incredible performance, he’s a deeply committed Catholic and a strong advocate for the pro-life movement. I discovered he was a key speaker at the 2023 March for Life, and his message really resonated with me. He didn’t focus on politics, but on the importance of prayer and compassion when discussing this difficult issue. He truly believes, and makes it clear, that the sanctity of life is central to his faith, and he uses his growing platform to share that belief.

He is a strong opponent of abortion and often uses Twitter to share his views, criticize those who support abortion rights, and highlight successes for the anti-abortion movement. Woods sees abortion as deeply wrong and regularly posts content, like memes and articles, to support his position. He’s one of the few openly conservative figures in the acting world and consistently stands by his beliefs in public.

Margaret Colin

I’m a big fan of Margaret Colin, you probably know her from ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘Independence Day’! What many people don’t know is that she’s a strong advocate for women’s rights, and she’s an honorary co-chair with Feminists for Life. She really believes that women facing difficult pregnancies deserve all the support we can give them – things like resources on college campuses and at work – and that abortion shouldn’t be the only option. She’s even spoken to the Senate about the importance of protecting unborn children, and she’s passionate about reminding everyone that historically, feminism has always opposed abortion, seeing it as something that actually harms women. It’s inspiring to see someone use their platform to champion these beliefs.

Janine Turner

Janine Turner, known for her role in ‘Northern Exposure,’ is a conservative activist who strongly opposes abortion and believes every person has a right to life. She started Constituting America, a group dedicated to teaching citizens about their constitutional rights, including the right to be born. Turner actively speaks out against abortion, arguing it’s unconstitutional, and believes the original intent of the Founding Fathers included protecting the rights of unborn children.

Scott Baio

Scott Baio, known for his roles in shows like ‘Happy Days’ and ‘Charles in Charge,’ is openly conservative and against abortion. He frequently discusses his views online and on TV, often voicing strong feelings about abortion procedures performed later in pregnancy. Baio supports political candidates who promise to appoint judges who would limit or end abortion access, believing the issue is fundamentally about moral principles and protecting children.

Kenny Chesney

As a huge Kenny Chesney fan, I’ve always loved ‘There Goes My Life.’ It’s such a relatable song about a young guy facing an unexpected pregnancy, and ultimately realizing how incredibly blessed he is by his child. Kenny doesn’t usually talk about politics, but he’s said the song definitely leans towards being pro-life, celebrating the joy of becoming a parent even when it’s unplanned. It really resonated with a lot of people in the pro-life movement because it showed a positive side to choosing parenthood, and he’s even shared how meaningful it is to him that the song has influenced people to choose life for their babies.

Alveda King

As a movie buff, I’ve always been fascinated by stories of impactful families, and Dr. Alveda King is a compelling figure. She’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, and carries on a legacy of activism, but with a very specific focus. She dedicates her life to the pro-life movement, working with groups like Priests for Life and writing about it extensively. What really strikes me is how she sees the abortion debate as today’s biggest civil rights issue – she truly believes her uncle’s dream of equality can’t be realized while abortion is still legal. She even shares her personal experiences with abortion, hoping to guide other women to choose a different path. It’s a powerful and often overlooked perspective.

Robert Davi

I’ve always recognized Robert Davi from movies like ‘The Goonies’ and ‘Die Hard,’ but I’ve also come to know him as someone who isn’t afraid to speak his mind. He regularly shares his conservative viewpoints as a columnist and commentator. What really stands out to me is his strong stance on issues like abortion – he’s produced films and written a lot about why he believes it’s harmful to our culture. He often talks about the importance of Judeo-Christian values in Western society and how protecting life is a core part of that. It’s cool to see someone in Hollywood challenging the usual way things are done and staying true to his beliefs.

Kristy Swanson

Kristy Swanson, who originally played Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is now a vocal advocate for conservative politics and the pro-life movement on social media. She often speaks out against laws that would increase access to abortion and actively discusses her beliefs with her followers. In addition to her political views, Swanson has appeared in films with religious themes and supports charities that reflect her values. She’s one of a number of actors choosing to share their personal beliefs directly with the public, rather than going through traditional Hollywood channels.

Shia LaBeouf

While filming the movie ‘Padre Pio,’ actor Shia LaBeouf became Catholic, which deeply changed how he sees the world. He told Bishop Robert Barron that his faith has brought him a sense of calm and led him to support pro-life beliefs. He was particularly influenced by the Capuchin friars he researched, who taught a ‘consistent life ethic.’ LaBeouf’s change of heart is one of the most visible recent examples of someone in the entertainment industry embracing a pro-life position.

Kaya Jones

Kaya Jones, who used to be in The Pussycat Dolls, is now a strong voice for conservative Christian values and the pro-life movement. She’s openly talked about regretting her past abortions, explaining she felt pressured to choose her career over having children when she was in the music industry. Now, Jones travels to events and churches to share her experiences and warn young women about the difficult emotions that can follow an abortion, using her own story to advocate for the value of life.
