Kelsey Grammer, best known for his iconic roles in ‘Cheers’ and ‘Frasier,’ has opened up in his memoir ‘Karen: A Brother Remembers’ about the profound emotional toll abortion has taken on his life. In a candid revelation, Grammer, now 70, shared how the abortions involving his former partners continue to haunt him.
“I know that many people do not have a problem with abortion, and though I have supported it in the past, the abortion of my son eats away at my soul,” Grammer wrote, according to the memoir.
In 1974, when Grammer’s girlfriend became pregnant, she chose abortion despite his willingness to keep the child. “I did not plead with her to save his life,” Grammer admitted.
Years later, the pain would resurface when his fourth wife, Kayte, was expecting twins. After one of the twins’ sacs ruptured, doctors advised the couple to abort the male twin to save the life of the female twin. The couple made the heart-wrenching decision to follow the medical advice.
“We killed our son so Faith might live,” Grammer wrote. “We wept as we watched his heart stop.” Today, their daughter Faith is 12 years old, but the memory of that decision remains etched in Grammer’s heart. “Kayte’s scream was enough to make a man mourn a lifetime,” he continued.
While Grammer maintains that he still believes a woman has the right to make choices regarding her body, the emotional and spiritual consequences of those decisions weigh heavily on him. He criticized those in the medical field who perform abortions, saying, “I have no idea how they call themselves doctors… Something about the ‘first, do no harm’ thing.”
For a culture that often treats abortion as a clinical procedure without moral implications, Grammer’s words remind Catholics of the profound and lasting impact of choosing to end a life. His story serves as a powerful witness to the sanctity of life and the devastating consequences that abortion can inflict, not only on the unborn but on the parents left behind to grieve a life that could have been.
the world MUST move away from culture of DEATH and Murder of the Unborn. No one seems to think it is NOT okay to kill a toddler-why then do people think abortion is okay?? I believe most or all people think the murder of 6 million Jews was/is horrific?? What about the 65+ million children murdered in USA over last 50+ years? THAT is a 9/11 event EVERY DAY!!!
Let us all wake up to the evil the devil brings to our world ALL the time. Send him back to hell!!
Murder at ANY Age is NOT Okay!! Let us get the culture of Death out of our world. JUST in USA, abortion gives us a 9/11 event every day! Over 3,000 children DIE because God’s beloved child WHOM He created isn’t wanted by his/her parents??! That shows the evil of the devil. Kick him back to Hell with all his Lies!
