Maybe I am allowing myself to be influenced by the fact that she is a very pretty and somewhat personable young woman. I share your concern about the ritual chant of the right to control her own body. Other than that truly major concern, she has always struck me as a rather wholesome young lady. Maybe you are right. If she is pro-abortion that is, for now, the determining factor as to how I would view her. If it happens that she is not a pro-abort, she deserves a second look.
She practically apologizes for being a public spokeswoman. She may have earned a right to humility but I think she is credible in that respect.
I don't see a lot of movies now that my kids have gone on to college and beyond. In those movies in which she appears, does she manage to keep her clothes on and dress modestly unlike the young fellow who played Harry Potter? She certainly does not seem to be aspiring to be a Miley Cyrus or a Lady Gaga or anything named Kardashian. In today's world of celebrities, that is something.
I hope that you are wrong about her and that Mr. Rogers and I are right. I believe that this is the first time I have disagreed with anything you have posted and, if it turns out that you are right on this, I will certainly concede as much. Would we not rather that she would be pro-life but somewhat clumsy in her choice of words to express herself? Alternatively, if she is a pro-abort and became a pro-lifer, she would not be the first or the last. If Norma McCorvey and Sarah Scorvino could change their minds and get arrested (along with the daughters born in spite of their lawsuits) in Operation Rescue, then Emma Watson might well change her mind if that is what God would want her to do or she might grow up (assuming she IS a pro-abort).
I shall be praying for her. How about you?
I pray for the lost of this world every day, rest assured. I suspect all Freepers do, as they watch our civilization disintegrate. I wish I could indulge in this gray area where we don’t know what she believes, but it seems to be confirmed at this source.

- PolitiChicks writer Julie Klose agrees with nearly all the beliefs that Watson espouses, with the exception of one: abortion.
“As long as feminism embraces abortion as a right, I will not define myself with that word, despite the many aspects of it that I agree with,” Klose wrote. “I am called to contribute to the equality of all mankind as how God planned it. Any campaign that supports the denial of rights to a future generation through abortion is truly not an advocate of all human rights.” -
Denounce evil in the world, and pray for its defeat. Abortion is not a women’s rights issue. Its a murder issue. Sorry to say that years of fighting these murderers has rendered me somewhat cold to them. Liberalism up close takes its toll.
