"I feel like everybody has the right to life according to the Constitution," Heaton is pictured saying to an audience this past November at UCLA, as FFL President Serrin Foster, at her side, cheers her on with a resounding "Yes!"
Heaton describes how she finds the courage to hold a position unpopular in her profession by explaining: "At the end of the day, I believe I have to answer to God for the actions in my life, the actions that I took and the actions that I didn't take. So that's scarier to me than somebody in the Hollywood community not liking me."
When I was living in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, Heaton was a
guest speaker for a fund-raiser for a pro-life group. It was advertized on
the big Christian talk station (KKLA; 99.5FM).
She also caught some nasty comments when she came "out of the closet" and
let people know she was a fairly devout Christian, even if she worked in Hollywood.
She sounds like a pretty much a "straight shooter"; she was even transparent
about having cosmetic surgery as a necessity of TV/film work.
