Patricia Heaton criticizes Supreme Court's abortion ruling

Pro-life actress Patricia Heaton slammed the recent Supreme Court's abortion ruling and quoted one of America's Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, to emphasize her point.

The Hollywood actress well known for being one of those rare pro-life celebrities took to Twitter to add her dissenting voice on the Court's decision Monday, June 27 to strike down Texas' House Bill 2. With a majority vote of 5-3, the Court ruled out HB 2's impositions that required abortion clinics with surgical center medical safety standards and abortionist doctors with admitting privileges.

Heaton tweeted the following day, "Hey SCOTUS: 'The care of human life & happiness, and not their destruction, is the first & only object of good government.'"

She also tweeted links to two op-eds written by other pro-life advocates Kira Davis and Kristen Walker Hatten.

Davis wrote for Same Page Nation where she agreed with the leading pro-choice advocates Planned Parenthood who argued that the high standards imposed by HB 2 would result in closure of significant numbers of abortion clinics in Texas.

"They're not wrong, but isn't that the whole point? If you can't do it right, should you really be doing it in the first place?" asked Davis.

She added that the logic is "so incredibly mind-boggling it reaches 'Why is Benedict Cumberbatch a sex symbol' levels of perplexity."

On the other hand, Hatten wrote for The Dallas Morning News where she criticized the court's ruling that it upheld the abortion industry instead of women's health.

Heaton, the 58-year-old Award-winning actress popularly known for her TV roles on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "The Middle," is also an outspoken pro-life activist and honorary chair of Feminists for Life.

According to the Independent Journal, the Christian actress consistently took to Twitter to speak out against abortion. The news site highlighted at least twelve tweets from Heaton's Twitter timeline where she championed the unborn and exposed any ignorance or anomalies concerning abortion, among others.

Just this May, Heaton's pro-life tweet reportedly sparked a Twitter furor where pro-choice advocates heavily criticized her.

Heaton explained in an interview with TheBlaze in 2014 that her being a mother was largely responsible for her strong opposition against abortion.

"It just bothers me so much. It's almost a natural, it's almost a reflex now," shared the actress and mother of four.
