You may well recognize actress Margaret Colin. She has, after all, starred in Edge of Night, As the World Turns, Chicago Hope, Now and Again, Madigan Men, Law and Order, Gossip Girl and several other TV programs.She has also starred in major motion pictures like Three Men and a Baby, Independence Day, The Butcher's Wife, Private Lies and Unfaithful. Along the way, Margaret Colin was a big hit in plays like Hamlet, Jackie: An American Life in which she portrayed Jaqueline Kennedy and Old Acquaintance from which the photo below at left is taken.
Margaret Colin is also a wife and mother of three. Yet, among the activities in this busy life, she finds time to serve (alongside actress Patricia Heaton) as the honorary co-chair of Feminists for Life.
At a Congressional Briefing back in July of 2002, Margaret spoke about the need to promote and defend the sanctity of life. "We marched here to support all women and to protest the violence against them, legislated by Roe v. Wade. And while many will remember the 40 million American children that were never born, I want us to also remember the 25 million women and girls in America today who have personally experienced an abortion."
"And we remember the women who have been rendered infertile or died from legal but lethal abortions…This is violence against women…This is the failure of our American society to help and protect women."
"The 1970's women's movement robbed us of our political birthright by changing the feminist platform to support abortion…Abortion hasn't fixed the litany of problems that women were promised would be resolved."
"You have to be brave -- the one who speaks out for a baby so she or he can come into this life."
