Leah Darrow is calling on society to recognize the beauty of children and to challenge the notion that abortion is necessary for women’s sucess.
Darrow rose to fame as a contestant on America’s Next Top Model. But at the height of her modeling career, she saw a vision from God that forever changed her life. She exited the industry and returned to her Catholic faith. Today, she juggles her time between caring for her six children and serving as a Catholic speaker and advocate for the unborn.
As a mother, she said, she embraces the pro-life position on a personal level.
“I can understand there being a fear of going into motherhood and all the concerns we have because it is such a grand vocation – it’s a beautiful vocation,” she told EWTN Pro-Life Weekly June 10. “But my babies have not kept me from my hopes and my dreams or aspirations.”
While some celebrities and, more recently, Texas high school valedictorian Paxton Smith, claim that abortion is necessary for women to succceed, Leah stressed that her children make her – and the world – better.
“They’ve helped me dig a new path that’s offered more clarity of what God has called me to be,” she explained. “My babies are a part of my dreams, they’re a part of my hopes and my aspirations. And the world is truly better for it, because of my children and also for who I am because of my children in the world.”
Even if the world doesn’t appreciate it, motherhood is a gift.
