As a singer, songwriter, producer, record label-owner and Grammy award-winner, Kaya Jones has accomplished much.
But an ongoing heartbreak was having two abortions, she told those assembled for the Walk For Life West Coast in San Francisco on Saturday.
“I come from an industry that promotes abortion,” the former Pussycat Dolls star stated. “It is not something that is unspoken.
“If you want to have a baby and you want to be a recording artist and successful, they encourage that you abort,” she said.
Jones recounted how she started her career at 13 and signed with Capital Records at 16 and “was told that I needed to look the part, be the part, and ultimately was to ‘sell sex.’
“Be visually stimulating to men,” is how Jones recalled her instructions from the record label. “Be visually encouraging to young girls — that this is what you should be, and this is what beauty is.”
“Nothing could have been further from the truth,” Jones told the gathered pro-life attendees.
She had her first abortion at 16 and did not tell her parents since their consent was not required. “You don’t need consent to kill a child,” Jones said.
“It harmed me, and I felt as though someone took something that belonged in my body,” Jones recalled. “I remember waking up and feeling like someone took my rib or my kidney, and it was never going to come back.
