Ashley Judd took aim at the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade in an Op-Ed honoring her late mother Naomi as she celebrates her first Mothers Day without her.
Judd, 54, penned the Op-Ed for USA Today in which she remembered her late mother Naomi Judd, who reportedly killed herself last month a day before she was set to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
'This Sunday is abruptly, shockingly, my first Mother's Day without my mama,' the actress wrote. 'She died just days before my sister and I could show her again how much we love and honor her.
'It wasn't supposed to be this way. I was supposed to visit her on Sunday, to give her a box of old-fashioned candy, our family tradition,' Judd added. 'Instead, I am unmoored. But my heart is not empty. It is replete with gratitude for what she left behind. Her nurture and tenderness, her music and memory.'
Judd, known for her roles in such movies as 'Kiss the Girls,' 'Double Jeopardy' and 'Heat' also wrote about her mother's journey with mental illness and how despite having motherhood forced on to her, she still did her best.
'Motherhood happened to her without her consent,' Judd wrote. 'She experienced an unintended pregnancy at age 17, and that led her down a road familiar to so many adolescent mothers, including poverty and gender-based violence.'
Judd wrote that her mother 'had to fight like hell to overcome the hand she was dealt, to earn her place in history,' adding: 'She shouldn't have had to fight that hard to share her gifts with the world.'

Reminds me of an old cartoon from years ago...
***Except for rape, the woman has a choice.***
Even then, a vinegar and water douche administered within twelve hours of the rape will take care of that.
That is how our ancestors did birth control without abortions.
Birth control options are readily available, highly effective these days, and cheap or free…
Using her mother’s death as a forum for antiabortion protests? She always was a grand-stander. Disgusting!
‘Motherhood happened to her without her consent,’ Judd wrote.
Gee, I bet her older sister the firstborn appreciates that sentiment🙄
The dark humorist in me finds that cartoon pretty funny— especially since the O-Biden marxists aren’t joking when they talk about families being able to choose a red pill or blue pill for Granny if she becomes a ‘burden.’
My Dear Ashley, what if your mother had an abortion and got rid of you.
How many talented children were killed in the womb?
No I think she’s referring to Wynonna?
To me that choice is made by whether or not a woman chooses to risk pregnancy, and is not made after that fact to kill the child she created.
Maybe she wishes she weren’t born?
Would that be Wynonna? That’s very sad.
Not much of an actress, neither. She probably has slept with every UK basketball player over the years, though.
Let’s get to the important stuff.
Where is Ashley Judd on the Hot/Crazy Matrix?
She was also great in”Double Jeopardy” with Tommy Lee Jones. Great actress but absolutely nuts!
Yea, you’re right. She should stick to acting, not acting up.
