27-year-old singer-songwriter and rising political star Joy Villa—known also for her controversial "statement dresses" at the Grammys— said that instead of listening to the advice to "terminate" from the nurse at the Woman's Clinic in California, she instead chose to place her child for adoption.

"Adoption was the answer for me. Yes, it was scary—this real life situation is scary. Facing the unknown is scary, but what is the alternative? Murder. That is what abortion is," she told LifeSiteNews.

"I ultimately chose an open adoption, and am so grateful that I did. I am very much a part of my daughter's life," she added.

Villa said that women facing a crisis pregnancy should not be "pressured into a life of regret, being the cause of death to your child."

The singer-songwriter related how her preborn baby helped her leave a "dark place" of drugs, alcohol, and abuse. She was 19 at the time.

"In a way, however, this little life inside me saved my life. I stopped with the drugs, the alcohol," she said.

Villa said that she is glad to use her "publicity as a platform for life." She will be attending this year's March for Life in Washington DC.

"I definitely encourage all people—men, women, families—to join me in Washington, DC, January 18th. I'll be marching with you. Come see what the Mainstream Media refuses to report each year: that there are hundreds of thousands of people who are like-minded, pro-life and willing to support you," she said.

"There's a freedom in this free discourse of Life. What's more, it's just so much fun—pro-lifers are truly, full of life!" she added.

LifeSiteNews (LSN): Joy, tell our readers a little about your formative years, and what drove you towards a career in the Entertainment Industry.

Joy Villa (JV): I grew up in a fairly religious household, between New York City and Santa Barbra, CA. My father was a Christian Minister of Hispanic heritage, and my mother was black. While I was young, I aspired towards greatness. My parents enrolled me in Theatre, and I fell in love with the art of it—making people happy made me happy! By age 10, I was acting, and by age 16—having graduated from high school early—I began acting full time, getting my break in local tv. I suppose I was always pro-life. It just made sense to me, my father—my best friend—really formed and grounded me that life was a sacred thing, from cradle to grave. It was only later, when I was around 17 or 18 years old, that I choose to embrace a Leftist, Liberal lifestyle and viewpoint.

LSN: You were so young, when you started on your career path in the Industry. With all that has been revealed, this past year--of the horrendous culture of abuse in Hollywood-- did you experience this?

JV: Yes, I actually did. When I was 13 years old, my parents dropped me off for a photo-shoot. Headshots, etc. They had met and approved of the photographer, you understand. Yet, after we had started—and my parents had left by that time—the photographer began insinuating that I could do more, show more skin. I was 13, and in this moment, I was made to feel like a sex object.

LSN: Do you think your experiences like this, and others when you were in Hollywood, pushed you towards hardening your views towards liberalism?

JV: Yes! As I continued to work in the industry—and primarily, at this time, I was acting (CSI NY, Heroes)—the naiveté that I had, simply because I had been protected by my parents, gave way to rebellion. I found myself dealing with more and more explicit offers—especially when I was between acting gigs—even being offered to do porn at one point. I remember being horrified by that, at first. Understand, though, as I began to live in the fast lifestyle so many do in Hollywood—that sex, drugs, rock-in-roll high life—it became more and more difficult to refuse this type of work. I have compassion for those who fall into it.

LSN: So, what happened? How did you find yourself grounded, again?

JV: By 19, I had met a man—he was, honestly, my second real relationship. We quickly moved in together. Reality, then, kicked in. He was abusive—not just physically, but with drugs. Hard drugs, pharmaceutical drugs. I experienced this reality in phases—first, found him smoking weed, taking the pharmaceutical drugs—and I excused them. After all, I had done them—as were pretty much everyone we knew. It wasn't so bad, until he laid his hands on me. I knew, instinctively, that this was a line no one should cross. I left him, shortly after.

That, however, wasn't the end of this story... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
