Kathy Ireland Calls on Christians to “Wake Up” to Abortion Crisis

The former supermodel also shared the love God has for women who have sought abortion

Supermodel and entrepreneur Kathy Ireland recently called on the American church to “wake up” to the realities of abortion.

Ireland gave the remarks at a pro-life gala and shared that she herself was not always pro-life.

“As a young adult, I identified as a pro-choice Christian,” she explained while accepting an award at the Life Awards Gala. It was decades after accepting Christ at age 18 that she began to oppose abortion.

“It just shows you the state of our nation. How does that happen?” Ireland noted.

“We’ve got to wake up our churches,” she urged. “We’ve got to wake up!”

Ireland also offered a message of hope for women who have experienced abortion, of which there are millions in the United States.

Pointing to her faith, the former model shared the redemptive nature of the God of the Bible.

“To the women who’ve had abortions — the estimation is one-in-four — just know that nothing is too big for God,” she said. “We bring it to him; we repent. He redeems and restores.”
