In 2011, Justin Bieber shared his thoughts on abortion with Rolling Stone. He said, “I really don’t believe in abortion. I think [an embryo] is a human. It’s like killing a baby.”

Jordin Sparks

“American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks has participated in pro-life events and speaks out about her Christian faith.

Benjamin Watson

Benjamin Watson, a tight end for the Baltimore Ravens, has spoken out about how abortion disproportionately kills African Americans. Watson, who spoke at the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., is exposing Planned Parenthood’s origins in the racist views of its founder Margaret Sanger.

“I do know that blacks kind of represent a large portion of the abortions, and I do know that honestly the whole idea with Planned Parenthood and Sanger in the past was to exterminate blacks,” Watson said. “And it’s kind of ironic that it’s working.”

James Caviezel

Passion of the Christ actor James Caviezel spoke boldly against abortion during an event at Rock Church in San Diego. During his message, Caviezel called abortion America’s “great sin,” and shared that there is hope and healing for families affected by abortion. He also told the Catholic Register that he values his pro-life convictions more than his career:

“Look, I am for helping women. I just don’t see abortion as helping women. And I don’t love my career that much to say, ‘I’m going to remain silent on this.”

Andrea Bocelli

In 2011, Italian singer Andrea Bocelli shared how his mother was pressured to get an abortion while pregnant with him. She refused. Although Bocelli is blind, he has opened the eyes of the world to his incredible talent and passion for music.

Kelsey Grammer

Actor Kelsey Grammer is known to sport pro-life t-shirts and post bold pro-life statements on his social media channels, which receives heat from abortion advocates. Grammer, who attended the March for Life, once called “reproductive rights” a “dishonest” term, noting that killing isn’t a right anyone can possess.

“It gets a bit dishonest to call something reproductive rights when you clearly have a choice well before a baby is conceived,” Grammer said. “If someone has to die as a result of rape, then we should kill the rapist — not the unborn child.”
