Actress Jessica Chastain donated $2,000 to a woman’s fertility fund after she criticized the actress on social media.
Chastain shared a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a white T-shirt that read, “We Should All Be Feminists,” along with the caption, “FEMINISM: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes #happyinternationalwomensday @renatocampora.”
However, a woman named Karin H. Schulz commented that she only supports feminists who are anti-abortion as she wrote, “Yes feminist that believe in God and stand up for The Unborn. I would be for that kind of feminist.”
Chastain has for long been an avid supporter of women’s rights and pay equality. The actress replied to the woman with, “@karinhschulz Yes you can decide what is right for you. I am pro-choice and I believe that everyone has the right to make their own decision. I read about your journey to become a mother and it broke my heart. I hope that your dream will come true in 2018! Much love to you.”
She added while referring to Schulz’s GoFundMe page which explained that she and her husband, Jeremy, had been trying to conceive a baby for years but had been unsuccessful, “@karinhschulz My eyes filled with tears as I read this, dear Karin. I have such belief in your dream. Don’t give up sister. It’s in your destiny.”
Chastain donated $2,000 to Schulz’s fund and wrote a note to the couple on the GoFundMe, which read, “You’ll be wonderful parents who teach love by example. Someday youll hold your baby. Dont give up ❤.”
