Now, she&#8217;s spoken further about the issue, including admitting that she has undergone multiple abortions herself.<\/p>\n<p>Jones, whose real name is Chrystal Neria, appeared on the \u201cSpeak Out\u201d with host Christine Yeargin, and explained that she wanted to warn other women against making the same choices she had. Now 38, she said her first abortion was as a teenager, and though she was a minor, she was able to undergo the procedure without her family&#8217;s knowledge. This first abortion would pave the way for the others to follow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the first one, you don\u2019t think you\u2019ve done anything wrong,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It\u2019s been normalized. And what is a line until you\u2019ve crossed it? &#8230; Once you\u2019ve crossed that line, it\u2019s a very slippery slope to continue to cross those lines.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/general-donation\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=monthly&amp;utm_content=article\"><b><i>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today?<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later, she became a member of the Pussycat Dolls, but this time, the decision to have an abortion wasn&#8217;t fully her own.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was told to get rid of it,&#8221; she said. \u201cAnd at that point, because I had already gone through an abortion previously, I didn\u2019t think it was that big of a deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZpiL04N-tys\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\nFinally, at the age of 30, Jones was raped. Though she initially wanted to keep her child, she said the stress, along with &#8220;complications,&#8221; led her to have an abortion again. And ultimately, she said it came back again to that first abortion as a teenager. \u201cWhen you\u2019ve had one, you think you can keep having them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Now, she hopes her story will show other women the reality of abortion \u2014 and how it will affect them. \u201cYou will regret it your whole life,\u201d she said. \u201cEven if I become a mother tomorrow, and I\u2019m happily married and all is well, I\u2019m still going to regret the three children I did not have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that helps now, she explained, is leaning on her faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very painful. There is a lot of anger. There\u2019s a lot of frustration,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lack of knowledge. There\u2019s a lot of regrets. And nothing can make that go away other than God himself when you lay it at his feet and ask for salvation on these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pussycat-dolls-speaks-abortion-evil-world-become\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous comments<\/a> about abortion, Jones made comments that may have been secretly referring to her own experiences. \u201cHollywood elites push eating disorders, sex, drugs, &amp; abortion on young women in the entertainment industry,\u201d she tweeted, and in a follow-up interview with the Media Research Center, added, &#8220;I know personally with people that I have been in business with, that have been affected by it, and have been asked to do things that they don\u2019t want to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jones is also not the only member of the Pussycat Dolls to condemn abortion. Lead vocalist Nicole Scherzinger also spoke out against abortion, and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/moana-disney-star-could-have-been-aborted-says-keep-your-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">encouraged people<\/a> to choose life instead of death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mum got pregnant with me when she was 17 and had me when she was 18,&#8221; she said. &#8220;She chose. Her parents were never going to let her have an abortion. So I came out, so I just want to you know encourage everybody to keep your babies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pledge.liveaction.org\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=prolife_pledge\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-277267\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/pledge-live-action-ad-970x250-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several years ago, Kaya Jones \u2014 who shot to fame as a member of the music group Pussycat Dolls \u2014 spoke about the evils of abortion, and how Hollywood pressures young women to have them at the threat of their careers.
