How awesome is Nicole Scherzinger? The Daily Mail reports that she almost didn’t take a coveted role because of the abortion subplot:

She’s playing the role of Penny Johnson in ABC’s forthcoming TV remake of Dirty Dancing.

But Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she almost turned down the part, played by Cynthia Rhodes in the classic 1987 film, because she harbours strong anti-abortion beliefs.

The X Factor judge admitted that her family is ‘really hardcore’ against termination because her mother had her at the tender age of 18.

Nicole, 38, explained to The Daily Mail: ‘I was like a crazy thing because, my family, my Papa’s a Bishop and my family’s really hardcore against abortion.

‘So I got the role and I almost didn’t take it because I didn’t want to promote abortion, because my character has an abortion.

‘But I was like, hopefully they can learn from you know her ways and I can be a positive influence.

‘My mum got pregnant with me when she was 17 and had me when she was 18. She chose.

‘Her parents were never going to let her have an abortion. So I came out, so I just want to you know encourage everybody to keep your babies.’

Read the rest here.

I got pregnant in a very bad circumstance and actually went to get an abortion. So glad God stopped me and helped prepare a place for my child. He can do the same for everyone.
