Kathy Ireland Slams Abortion

Kathy Ireland Slams Abortion Monday, April 27, 2009 Former supermodel Kathy Ireland is making no secret about her opposition to abortion - a position that puts her at odds with much of Hollywood and the world's glitterati. In an interview with Fox News, Ireland described her conversion to a pro-life position. "My entire life I was pro-choice - who was I to tell another woman what she could or couldn't do with her body? But when I was 18, I became a Christian and I dove into the medical books, I dove into science," Ireland told Fox while promoting her insightful new book "Real Solutions for Busy Mom: Your Guide to Success and Sanity." "What I read was astounding and I learned that at the moment of conception a new life comes into being," Ireland told Fox. "The complete genetic blueprint is there, the DNA is determined, the blood type is determined, the sex is determined, the unique set of fingerprints that nobody has had or ever will have is already there." However Ireland admitted that she did everything she could to avoid becoming a believer in pro-life. "I called Planned Parenthood and begged them to give me their best argument and all they could come up with that it is really just a clump of cells and if you get it early enough it doesn't even look like a baby,"Ireland said. "Well, we're all clumps of cells and the unborn does not look like a baby the same way the baby does not look like a teenager, a teenager does not look like a senior citizen. That unborn baby looks exactly the way human beings are supposed to look at that stage of development. It doesn't suddenly become a human being at a certain point in time," Ireland argued. "I've also asked leading scientists across our country to please show me some shred of evidence that the unborn is not a human being. I didn't want to be pro-life, but this is not a woman's rights issue but a human rights issue." From NewsMax
