A recent decision by the highest court has had a profound impact on the nation, raising concerns about women potentially being required to carry pregnancies to term, even if it poses a risk to their health or the unborn child’s, especially in a time when there is a shortage of baby formula.
While this issue has generated diverse opinions, actress Kimberly Elise has come forward to express her support for the decision and celebrated it on social media.
Kimberly Elise is widely recognized for her iconic roles in movies such as “Set It Off,” “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” “John Q,” “The Great Debaters,” and “The Manchurian Candidate.” Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, she was married to Maurice Oldham for several years before their separation in 2005. Tragically, Oldham passed away shortly after their split. In 2019, Kimberly Elise publicly announced her commitment to her faith, stating that she had turned her life over to Jesus and had no intention of looking back, which may have influenced her recent viral post.
On her Instagram post, Kimberly shared an image of a sleeping baby alongside text from Psalm 139:13-14, which reads, “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you.” In the caption, Elise proclaimed that “millions of babies will be saved,” followed by “Hallelujah! #allglorybetoGod.” Notably, she disabled comments on the post, preventing responses from viewers.
Initially, many fans were puzzled and suspected that the actress’s Instagram account might have been hacked. However, a review of Kimberly Elise’s Instagram account reveals that, apart from a few selfies, she regularly shares religious memes and quotes. Elise is a devout Christian who was baptized at the age of 16. In 2021, she celebrated her birthday by undergoing baptism once again, rededicating her life to Christ. The actress also hosts a podcast titled “Grace, Truth, and Love – with Kimberly Elise,” designed for Christian women, offering encouragement and edification with a Jesus Christ-centered and Biblical worldview.
With her Instagram comments disabled, fans took to Twitter to express their reactions to Kimberly’s post. Some criticized her for her role in “For Colored Girls,” a film that featured a significant subplot about illegal abortions. Others made light of her film characters, often portraying abused women, which led to various comments and reactions on the platform.
