Against Having Children
ASHLEY JUDD: ‘ASHLEY: I REFUSE TO HAVE A BABY’ “It's unconscionable to breed… with
the number of children who are starving to death in impoverished countries.” (“ASHLEY: I REFUSE TO
HAVE A BABY; Star Says 'Breeding' Is Out While Kids Starve,” Sunday Mail [Glasgow, Scotland], 1/29/06)
Objects To Fathers Walking Their Daughters Down The Aisle
ASHLEY JUDD: “The complete reification our reproductivity was in place and it became
institutionalized for all of us to live this way. To this day, a common vestige of male
dominion over a woman’s reproductive status is her father ‘giving’ away her away to
her husband at their wedding, and the ongoing practice of women giving up their last
names in order to assume the name of their husband’s families, into which they have
effectively been traded, in an interesting twist, cancelling out their own lineage, even
though it is their father’s name with which they most likely have been raised.” (Ashley Judd,
“At The Root Of My Longing, Social Justice, Feminism, And Spirituality,” AshleyJudd.Com)
Compares Mountaintop Removal To The Rwandan Genocide
ASHLEY JUDD: “Yet, they are true, all too true. President Clinton has repeatedly said doing
nothing during the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 is the single greatest regret of the Presidency. Yet
here at home, there is full blown environmental genocide and collapse happening, and we are
doing nothing. Naturally, I accept that I set myself up for ridicule for using such strong terms, or
perhaps outrage from human victims of slaughter, but I do believe in the profound
interconnectedness of all life”. (Ashley Judd, “The Day Buttermilk Wouldn’t Run,” AshleyJudd.com)
‘The Era Of Coal Plant Is Over,’ Coal Jobs Are ‘False’
ASHLEY JUDD: “Okay, Romney on coal? Wow. Misleading. The era of coal plant is
over, unacceptable. It's teh dirties and we as USA can do better. Innovate” (@AshleyJudd,
Twitter, 10/16/12)
ASHLEY JUDD: “Coal companies say Appalachia needs mining for jobs. Again,
false.” (Ashley Judd, Op-Ed, “Stop Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining,” The Hill, 7/14/10)
• According to Governor Beshear’s own Kentucky Energy and Environment
Cabinet, there are 15,147 Kentuckians in Appalachia who are employed directly
by coal mines. That does not even include the thousands more who have jobs
indirectly because of coal. (“Kentucky Coal Facts,” Kentucky Energy And Environment Cabinet,
Dept. For Energy Development And Independence, 2012, p.22)
Against Traditional Christianity
ASHLEY JUDD: “Patriarchal societies are organized in terms of the experience of men as
they have been able to define and elaborate on it. Patriarchal religions, of which
Christianity is one, gives us a God that is like a man, a God presented and
discussed exclusively in male imagery, which legitimizes and seals male power. It
is the intention to dominate, even if the intention to dominate is no where visible.” (Ashley
Judd, “At The Root Of My Longing, Social Justice, Feminism, And Spirituality,” AshleyJudd.Com)
‘I’m like Saint Francis’
ASHLEY JUDD: “I have to expand my God concept from time to time. And you know particularly I
enjoy native faith practices and have a very nature based God concept. I like to think I’m like Saint
Francis in that way, Brother Donkey, Sister Bird.” (“George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight,” CBC, 3/14/12)
