Sylvester Stallone was an Abortion Survivor! By Mrs Abigail Knight (Florida)
There are babies that survive abortions, every day in the US, and perhaps once a week in Australia. Sometimes the babies ae saved, but with the cruelty that comes with up to birth abortions in the US, often these babies are an inconvenience, and are left in a sound-proof room to die. In this context, it is interesting to read that the actor Sylvester Stallone was an abortion survivor. While the tale is grim, it seems his mother, who was deeply "troubled," did attempt an abortion done by herself, but failed. She even told Stallone, when he was a young boy, which seems to be an act of cruelty as well, but she seems to have had deep mental health issues.
It is food for thought, since Stallone did make indeed something of himself. His mother, Jackie Stallone, is an unknown, and may only be publicly remembered for this event.
"On a recent episode of the podcast "Unwaxed with Sophia & Sistine Stallone," Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone dropped a bombshell: He is an abortion survivor.
His daughters were interviewing him about his autobiographical Netflix documentary, Sly, which covers the Stallone story from his underdog days to celebrity fame. His daughters asked him about his mother, Jackie Stallone. "You had said that your mom was nervous to have you," said Sistine. "She didn't want you, right?"
"Not at all," replied Stallone. "My mother would say, 'The only reason you're here is because the hanger didn't work' or 'bouncing down those steps didn't cause you to get lost.' And she said that, 'You know, truthfully, Sylvester… you know, if there was something really wrong with your brain, I would have definitely opened up the window and put you on the windowsill and let you freeze because I'd be doing you a favor.'"
As Nancy Flanders of Live Action News noted: "Based on these remarks, it sounds as if Stallone's mother had tried to kill him in at least one, perhaps multiple, DIY abortion attempts." Stallone's story clearly seemed to stun his daughters – Sistine's jaw dropped. "What type of mother says that to their child?" Sophia asked him.
"My mother, she was a troubled person," Stallone replied. "She was put into an orphanage, you know, and a very cruel orphanage because her father had remarried and the new stepmother hated her. And I think my mother was also kind of rebellious. So she was put into an orphanage that — it's unlike the ones they have today. It was, you know, you're tied to the bed, you're whipped, and you're… she was terribly molested. And I think her ability to ever show love was short-circuited. She literally couldn't stand to be touched or touch at all. I mean, not even a hug."
Surprising as it might sound, Stallone is far from the only one to survive an abortion. Some years ago, my pro-life colleagues met a woman who shared that the only reason she was here is because the coat hanger her mother had used to try and kill her had missed her heart when it had punctured her body while she was in the womb. Many others, in recent years, have also come out to share their stories.
Josiah Presley survived an attempted curettage abortion intended to dismember him in Korea in 1995. His mother discovered at five months that she was still pregnant, he escaped with a maimed arm, and was adopted by a family in Oklahoma. Brandi Lozier was aborted in 1993; when clinic staff was about to discard her body, she raised her arm, and the staff revived her. Courtney Young survived an abortion in 1996, was born at 27 weeks, and was adopted by a loving family. Young's mother had been pregnant with twins—the abortion killed Courtney's sibling.
In one particularly heartbreaking story, Claire Culwell discovered in 2009 that her health complications were due to an abortion that killed her twin. She was adopted by a loving family but told me that every time she looks in the mirror, she sees her twin's face staring back at her. She survived the abortion. Her twin did not. She is not only a survivor – she lives with survivor guilt.
Indeed, Live Action News found 220 cases of abortion survivors reported from 1999-2023 in just eight states, but noted that due to "a failure to require states to report abortion statistics or survivors, and abortionists' attempts to hide their 'failed abortions,' that number is almost certainly substantially higher." According to the Abortion Survivor's Network, 85,817 infants were born alive after failed abortions since 1973 in the U.S. alone – and we know that babies have survived abortion attempts in Canada, the UK, and around the world, as well.
