Hey Fergie...

I think Patricia Heaton is a terrific actress and she did a bang-up job on "Everyone Loves Raymond."

She is no doubt a nice person, too.

But there is just this one teeny little thing: she's an anti-abortionist with strong convictions and is very much anti Roe v. Wade.

Somewhere I think I read that may be because she is a Roman Catholic.

Not that any of that takes away from her acting ability...but I couldn't help feel a little "aargh" when I first learned of her anti-abortion activities.
