Whoopi Goldberg has raised money on behalf of the homeless and Afghan women. She’s marched for choice and equal rights... One of the many pro-active things she’s done is to tell the story of her own abortion (in the bad old coat-hanger days), in a book called The Choices We Made: 25 Women and Men Speak Out About Abortion.
