PALMDALE - While "Everybody Loves Raymond" character Debra Barone will live on in television reruns, a generous gift from actress Patricia Heaton will live on in the lives of babies born to Antelope Valley women who were considering having abortions.

I know she'll never do it, but I would LOVE to see this done to get CBS to take action against Dan Rather.

"ANTI-CHOICE" [Jonah Goldberg] From a long piece at MSNBC which tries too hard to be very clever about actors who get type-cast or "Zieringed" (after Ian Ziering from Beverly Hills 90210): "And maybe everybody loves Raymond, but after the show goes off the air, we have to wonder who's going to love Patricia Heaton. Heaton plays Raymond's shrewish wife Debra with exactly one note, and spends her time off authoring obnoxious books about motherhood, supporting anti-choice organizations, and stomping out of awards shows hosted by the Osbournes." I know this is a small example of media bias, but can imagine...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Unlike many of her Hollywood friends, two-time Emmy winner Patricia Heaton, star of the hit comedy series "Everybody Loves Raymond," won't be attending Sunday's pro-abortion march in Washington. "Many of the celebrities on the list are my friends," Heaton explained, "but when it comes to championing abortion, we go our separate ways." "I find it impossible to subscribe to a philosophy that believes that the destruction of human life is a legitimate solution to a problem that is mostly social, economic and psychological," said Heaton.

Washington, DC -- To change the abortion culture in the United States and around the world, the debate may have to be reframed and redirected with a focus on both the mother and unborn child. Recently, Serrin Foster, president of Feminists for Life of America, shared her thoughts on pro-life feminism and on trends in the abortion controversy. Her lecture, "The Feminist Case Against Abortion," was included in a 2001 book entitled, "Women's Rights." Q: Your name, Feminists for Life, strikes some as contradictory. What do you see as the connection between feminism and being pro-life? Foster: We are often...

Giddy Up, Mia Farrow James Hirsen Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2003 THE LEFT COAST REPORT A Political Look at Hollywood Mia Farrow took some time out from her anti-death-penalty fund raiser, and the play she's in about people wrongly sentenced to death, to talk to the Washington Post and whack the president on the death penalty issue.

Hollywood star stands up for decency Patricia Heaton walks out of music awards because of lewd tone For "Everybody Loves Raymond" star Patricia Heaton, the last straw came when a performer at the 30th annual American Music Awards made graphic references to three-way sex.

She walked out of the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, disgusted by what she called "an...

Patricia Heaton, who plays the part of Raymond's wife on the hit CBS comedy "Everybody Loves Raymond" is proudly anti-abortion, and also has a few choice words for Hollywood liberals like Barbra Streisand. Heaton told Bill O'Reilly that there are icy waters out there for Hollywood conservatives, but she's not afraid to say that if she had her way, abortion would be illegal.
