| Kimberly Elise shares pro-life (anti-science) views. |
The actress who starred in cult movie Set It Off is slammed for praising culture wars. The movie featured Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Vivica A. Fox. Kimberly Elise was also featured in her first movie role praised the Supreme Court's decision to end Roe v. Wade.
"Million of babies will be saved from death by abortion due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Hallelujah! #allglorybetoGod," Elise wrote on her social media.
Elise showcased Psalm 139:13-14 as a reason.
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonder are your works; my soul knows it very well."
Knowing she would face backlash, Elise shut down the comments and made her profile private.
Other entertainers and women of color disagreed with the decision.
Of course, Vice President Kamala Harris, Duchess Meghan of Sussex, former first lady Michelle Obama have condemned the decision.
These women are often attacked by the far-right.
Duchess Meghan (nee Markle), Vice President Harris and Mrs. Obama are directly targeted by Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and white extremists online for having opinions. After all, they're Black women and they "need to know their place" when it comes to whatever white man is saying.
Set It Off was a film from F. Gary Gary. He is also known for the movie Straight Outta Compton.
This movie is a crime drama that involved four Black women plotting heists of Los Angeles banks.
The four women each run into a tragic event that sparks their lust for money and violence.
Elise who made her film debut as a single mother Tisean "T.T." Williams suffered a series of setbacks.
She slept with the sexist and greedy owner Luther. Her son got into a vat of chemicals and got seriously injured. She ends up losing in to child custody. She at first was reluctant to commit robberies, but ended up joining Cleopatra "Cleo" Sims (Queen Latifah), former bank teller Francesca "Frankie" Sutton (Vivica A. Fox) and Lida "Stony" Newsom (Jada Pinkett Smith) in robbing banks.
She also killed Luther after he tried to pull a firearm on them after they found their loot stolen.
In the movie T.T. was killed by the LAPD in a botched robbery. The women ended up going their separate ways. The only survivor was Stony who dealt with losing her brother to a police shooting.
The movie is a cult hit. It was the first gangster movie featuring African American women.
Elise has starred in movie and television shows.
