Goonies actress Martha Plimpton is slammed after boasting at a pro-choice event that she had her 'best abortion' in Seattle when she was 19

The Goonies star made the comments in June during a Q&A session in Seattle

Plimpton underwent the procedure when she was 19 in 1989 at a Planned Parenthood

She joked to the cheering crowd: 'If I could Yelp review it, I totally would'

Plimpton, 46, is a passionate abortion advocate and activist

She received insults from Twitter critics who said the comment was 'tacky'

Actress Martha Plimpton has sparked controversy by saying she had her 'best abortion' at a clinic in Seattle.

The star, who shot to fame in 1985 in The Goonies, is a passionate abortion advocate and was taking part in a Q&A session at a #ShoutYourAbortion event in June when she made the comment.

It is only now causing uproar after footage of the remark was circulated online.

Addressing a crowd of supporters, Plimpton, who has spoken publicly of the two abortions she had as a young woman in the past, said at town hall session: 'Seattle has some particular significance for me for lots of reasons.

'I’ve got a lot of family here, some of whom are here in the audience tonight. 'I also had my first abortion here at the Seattle Planned Parenthood! Yay!'

As the audience cheered, she went on: 'Notice I said 'first'...and I don’t want Seattle — I don’t want you guys to feel insecure, it was my best one.

'Heads and tails above the rest. If I could Yelp review it, I totally would.

'And if that doctor’s here tonight, I don’t remember you at all, I was 19. I was 19, but I thank you nonetheless,' she said, as the crowd cheered.

Because killing the baby in your womb is so wacky and fun!

Anyone who isn't disturbed by this is beyond redemption.

I didn't realize Plimpton was black. After all, PP was created by its founder to control the population of lesser people, and they do locate largely in black neighborhoods.

Too bad her mom wasn’t as “pro-choice” as she is.

Murdering babies is considered “Awesome” to these loons..yet wanting to deport illegal alien criminals is considered “Inhumane” if the unborn voted Democrat these same goons would ban abortion tomorrow

That is just plain evil. It’s sad, that I used to like her as an actress.

There will come a time down the road - long after the accolades from her peers, long after her fame is gone - probably around the time she has babies that she actually wants, that it will hit her what she has done.

I know a woman who will tell you five ways from Sunday with utter conviction that her abortions at the time she did them were absolutely the right thing to do.

And then later in the night when she is hammered she sobs like a baby for her dead children.

“The ‘star’, who shot to fame in 1985 in The Goonies...”

And had never been heard from again until today when she announced how much she LOVED her abortion...

I’m not sure these people understand how MUCH they have to answer to in the afterlife.

Jesus described it (the punishment for harming children) as worse than a millstone around the neck and being thrown into the sea.

I believe he was talking about spiritual or physical harm to any of His children too.

I would have thought she would have some sort of regret. Who am I kidding? She is a delusional woman.
