The Devil wears maternity clothes
How can one celebrate motherhood while defending abortion as ‘mercy’? Enter Anne Hathaway, recently of Odyssey fame.

How can one celebrate motherhood while defending abortion as “mercy”? That’s what outspoken actress Anne Hathaway does, which is why I’m not the least bit impressed by her strutting down red carpets, promoting The Odyssey in custom maternity fashions — including a Prada halter gown — like some perimenopausal guru who presents herself as the embodiment of motherhood.
Sorry, but even though Anne is currently being glorified on red carpets and lauded by late-night hosts, I find it difficult to take seriously a person who advocates for abortion on demand while being charitably associated with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Human Rights Campaign, let alone someone who publicly celebrates her decision to allow her unborn child to gestate for nine months unharmed.
Why do I feel this way? Because in Anne Hathaway’s sphere of truth, human rights begin only after a child miraculously makes it out of the womb.
Besides promoting herself as an icon of child advocacy, Hathaway is also an audacious supporter of what she calls “reproductive health care.” In 2022, regarding the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Hathaway preached on ABC’s The View that in her “own personal experience with abortion ... abortion can be another word for mercy.”
