Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teenage pregnancy and abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I try to imagine my own daughter at 16, playing house, essentially living with a grown-ass man, doing tons of blow, popping Quaaludes, and going to Studio [54] \u2014 not to mention being lied to, cheated on, then gifted with various and sundry STDs and unwanted pregnancies, it makes me feel physically ill,&#8221; she said. &#8220;No teenager should be swimming in waters that dark &#8230; .&#8221;\u00a0Yet, these were Grey&#8217;s teen years. Despite this, as traumatic as it sounds, Grey claims to have\u00a0felt <em>empowered<\/em> by her sexual freedom at that age and told the Times that she used birth control carefully.<\/p>\n<p>But drugs, living with an adult male, and dealing with STDs and unwanted pregnancies are likely <em>not<\/em> what our nation&#8217;s first feminists imagined when they fought for women&#8217;s rights (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/feminists-never-wanted-abortion\/\">which did not include abortion<\/a>). It&#8217;s hard to conflate that dangerous and reckless lifestyle with empowerment. She admits she wouldn&#8217;t have wanted her own daughter, now age 20, to have lived her teenage years like that.<\/p>\n<p>It was during those years, prior to her role in Dirty Dancing, that Grey had an abortion and she implied that it actually had a negative impact on her. &#8220;It&#8217;s such a grave decision,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And it stays with you.&#8221; Yet, she attempts to justify it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have my life. I wouldn\u2019t have had the career I had, I wouldn\u2019t have had anything [if not for the abortion],\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it wasn\u2019t for lack of taking it seriously. I\u2019d always wanted a child. I just didn\u2019t want a child as a teenager. I didn\u2019t want a child where I was [at] in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mothers and career success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The truth is that Grey doesn&#8217;t know what her life would have been like if she had welcomed her child. She assumes she wouldn&#8217;t have had her career or &#8220;anything&#8221; at all. But her life could have been made better by her child, something most mothers say about their own lives after having a baby.<\/p>\n<p>Grey&#8217;s implication with this statement is that mothers are incapable of career success. Other women in the industry have proven this misogynistic theory wrong. Director and actress Emerald Fennell was seven months pregnant when she directed &#8220;The Crown,&#8221; and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/empowerment-women-chose-motherhood-careers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> being pregnant during that time &#8220;really helped&#8221; and &#8220;gave me this weird power for myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/empowerment-women-chose-motherhood-careers\/\">These career women embraced motherhood with no regrets<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Monica Potter, Shirley Temple, Naomi Judd, Solange Knowles, Niki Taylor, Maya Angelou, Aretha Franklin, and Loretta Lynn were\u00a0<em>all<\/em>\u00a0teenage mothers who became successful in their careers. Women have even won\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pregnant-olympian-prove-motherhood-doesnt-mean-ending-career\/\">Olympic medals<\/a>\u00a0while pregnant. Countless women attribute their success to their children, who inspired them to work harder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The idea of &#8220;unwanted&#8221; people<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even more troubling is that Grey was clear she had the abortion because she didn&#8217;t &#8220;want&#8221; a child and therefore, destroyed that child&#8217;s life. It\u00a0is eugenic to label a human being as &#8220;unwanted&#8221; for the purpose of robbing them of their humanity, value, dignity, and very life in order to live the life you please.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of &#8220;unwanted&#8221; people isn&#8217;t new \u2014 it&#8217;s been used to justify genocide for centuries. People have been dehumanized and called unfit and undesirable throughout history and those labels have allowed horrors to occur: the Holocaust and slavery, for instance. No human being deserves that treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abortion is still dangerous<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most controversial part of Dirty Dancing is arguably the illegal abortion obtained by the character Penny. Grey&#8217;s character, ironically named Baby, takes money from her father to help procure the abortion for Penny, but the procedure is botched.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw someone who was hemorrhaging,\u201d Grey said about the scene. \u201cWe saw what happens to people without means \u2014 the haves and the have nots. I love that part of the storyline because it was really a feminist movie in a rom-com. It was a perfect use of history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But forcing legalized abortion on every state in the January 1973 Supreme Court decision of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> didn&#8217;t end botched abortions. In fact, in 1972 (the year before <em>Roe<\/em>), the CDC recorded 39 deaths from illegal abortion and 24 deaths from legal abortion. By 1973, the first year abortion was legal throughout the nation, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/reproductivehealth\/data_stats\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC<\/a> reported that more women actually died from legal abortion than from illegal abortion (25 v. 19).<\/p>\n<p>While it is unknown how many women are injured by legal abortion each year in the United States (only <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/how-dangerous-abortion-pill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">half<\/a> of all states are required to report abortion complications), there are <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/?s=911+hemorrhaging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">countless<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/illinois-planned-parenthood-calls-911-twice-bleeding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">911 calls<\/a> from abortion facilities that detail the horrors of legalized abortion. And it is still underprivileged women who are being targeted for these so-called &#8220;safe&#8221; abortions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The end of <em>Roe<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grey called the June 24, 2022, Supreme Court decision of <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization<\/em> overturning Roe &#8220;so fundamentally wrong.&#8221; She said about the decision, &#8220;I feel so emotional. Even though I&#8217;ve seen it coming, even though we&#8217;ve been hearing what&#8217;s coming, it does&#8217;t feel real.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over nearly 50 years, <em>63 million human beings<\/em> have been violently killed by abortion and disposed of as medical waste. For five decades, women have been pressured and coerced into abortions and told that abortion was their only choice. <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> may be history, but the mass genocide of innocent human beings is still raging on in America. And <em>that<\/em> is what is fundamentally wrong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/?ref=br_rs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0for more pro-life news and commentary!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Jennifer Grey, known best for her role in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, recently opened up to the Los Angeles Times about her abortion as a teenager and feeling &#8220;emotional&#8221; about the end of Roe v.
