Female actress, Michelle Williams, used her golden globe speech to speak out about abortion, saying she “wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose.”
She accepted the award, saying:
I’m grateful for the acknowledgement of the choices I’ve made, and I’m also grateful to have lived in a moment in our society where choice exists, because as women and as girls, things can happen to our bodies that are not our choice. I’ve tried my very best to live a life of my own making, not just a series of events that happened to me, but one that I could stand back and look at and recognize my handwriting all over, sometimes messy and scrawling, sometimes careful and precise, but one that I carved with my own hand. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose, to choose when to have my children, and with whom. When I felt supported and able to balance our lives, knowing as all mothers know that the scales must and will tip towards our children. Now, 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. So, women, 18 to 118, when it is time to vote, please do so in your own self-interest. It’s what men have been doing for years, which is why the world looks so much like them. But don’t forget, we are the largest voting body in this country. Let’s make it look more like us.
As you can see, Williams intentionally avoids the word “abortion” and uses the euphemism of a “woman’s right to choose.” She encourages women to vote for abortion “rights” as if every woman agrees with her.
Williams is one of many actresses pushing the “I wouldn’t be successful unless I killed my child” narrative.
