"I don't have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life." –Actor Jack Nicholson

While there is no shortage of pro-abortion celebrities, there are some celebrities in the entertainment industry who are unafraid to stand for the sanctity of life. Here is a list of 10 celebrities you may be surprised to know are outspoken pro-life advocate. (Photo: Kathy Ireland/via LifeSiteNews)

1. Tim Tebow
Not many football players have generated such controversy over their personal beliefs. A Heisman Trophy winner, Tebow... is a notable pro-lifer, appearing in a pro-life ad with his mother during Super Bowl XLIV that drew widespread criticism from pro-abortion advocates... Despite his fame and success, Tebow has remained true to his faith and pro-life principles.

2. Jack Nicholson
As a pregnant teenager, Nicholson's mother was pressured to have an abortion, but she refused. This shaped Nicholson's view on abortion, making him one of the few pro-life celebrities. On the subject, he has said, "I don't have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life."

3. James Caviezel
Famous for playing the role of Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, James Caviezel has starred in several feature films and television shows.

Caviezel is a devout Roman Catholic and an outspoken advocate for pro-life issues... He's called abortion the ultimate evil, saying, "Abortion goes much further: when the mother herself kills her son she goes against her own nature, against her own instinct. People talk about ‘choice', but when a woman does that, when she destroys the life of her unborn child, then, we have arrived at the limit. The level cannot go higher regarding evil."

4. Kathy Ireland
Kathy's fame began when she was working as a model [and] as an actress in multiple television shows and movies. She's also a notable outspoken pro-lifer [advocating] for the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

5. Ben Stein
His role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off made him instantly recognizable. Stein is... also an outspoken pro-lifer. He was even honored at the Tenth Annual Proudly Pro-Life Awards Dinner in 2003.

6. Patricia Heaton
Patricia Heaton is best-known for her role as Debra Barone on the hit comedy Everybody Loves Raymond, for which she won two Emmy awards.

Heaton is... an outspoken advocate for pro-life issues. She has spoken out against abortion, the death penalty, embryonic stem cell research, and euthanasia. She was one of the few celebrities who spoke out in the Terri Schiavo case, and she was named an honorary chair of Feminists for Life of America.

7. Kenny Chesney
One of country's biggest superstars, Kenny Chesney has won multiple awards. [His] most notable example of pro-life advocacy is in the song he has called one of his favorites, "There Goes My Life." It spent seven weeks at number one, and it tells the story of a teenager whose girlfriend gets pregnant and has the baby rather than having an abortion. The teen initially believes that his life has been ruined, but in the end, he realizes how much of a blessing the child is.

8. Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Jonathan Taylor Thomas was one of the '90s' most adored tween heartthrobs, starring in the Tim Allen smash Home Improvement... He's slowly been making his way back into showbiz, starring in indie films and making guest star appearances on numerous television shows.

He's also a noted pro-lifer, even providing the voice for a baby in a pro-life television ad. The campaign gave alternatives to abortion, such as adoption and charities.

9. Janine Turner
In the late 1970s, Janine Turner started her career as a model before quickly moving on to become an actress on multiple television shows in the 1980s and 1990s. She also appeared in many movies, including Cliffhanger.

10. Martin Sheen
Martin Sheen is a notable actor of both television and films, starring in movies such as Apocalypse Now and The Departed and television shows such as The West Wing, where he played the president of the United States.

Sheen was named a "Remarkable Pro-Life Man" by Feminists for Life. He has also spoken out about his wife, who was conceived through rape. Her mother considered aborting her and, after the birth, dumping her in the Ohio River, but in both instances, she chose to give her daughter life instead.
