A recently unearthed interview with Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone shed new light on the origins of his existence – he could’ve been aborted with one of the oldest and most barbaric methods of abortion.  

Stallone has been open about his rough upbringing with a sadistic father, Frank Stallone, and an unstable mother, Jacqueline Stallone, in 1946 in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. He bounced from foster and boarding homes, even divulging more of his underdog story in his recent 2023 Netflix documentary, “Sly.” However, after his big break in “Rocky,” Stallone continued to rise above poverty and dysfunction, has been married for over 25 years, and has five beautiful children, one son who sadly died in 2012 from heart disease.  

Stallone appeared on the UNWAXED podcast, hosted by his two daughters, Sophia and Sistine, to discuss his recent documentary, “Sly.” During the discussion, Stallone dove back into his dysfunctional past and a shocking admission from his mother.

“I grew up in a really bad household,” Stallone told his daughters. “My mother would say, ‘The only reason you’re here is because the hanger didn’t work.” 

For the unaware, the most popular and talked about abortions in the media are chemical abortions, which is a two-pill process that first starves the preborn child and then is expelled from the womb. And then, there’s surgical abortion, where a child is ripped limb by limb while it’s still alive in their mother’s womb. The “coat hanger” abortion is a term that refers to a back alley or self-administered abortion using crude and dangerous methods of killing the child. While all abortions are dangerous to the mother and child, “DIY” abortions are particularly dangerous and reckless to every person involved.  

During the podcast, Sistine and Sophia’s mouths hung wide open after their dad’s admission. He continued:  

“(she said) ‘Or bouncing down those steps didn’t cause you to get lost. She said that you know, ‘Truthfully, Sylvester, if there was really something wrong with your brain, I would have definitely opened up the window and put you on the windowsill and let you freeze.”  

Stallone was born with a nerve injury that caused slurred speech and a drooping lower lip, which opened the door for ruthless bullying among his peers. Despite his broken household, his parents’ messy divorce, and his family’s poverty, Stallone pursued acting. His pursuits weren’t without significant lows. His acting was going so badly that he only had $106 in his pocket and sold his beloved dog for $50, which he later bought back for $15,000 after his career skyrocketed. His unexpected success from playing Rocky Balboa in “Rocky” brought him from having $100 to millions.  

Still, he had to learn how to have a healthy family dynamic, enjoy holidays, and play games, which his daughters discussed with him during this revealing interview.  

However, despite how horrifying his mother’s statement about Stallone’s life was, many women and abortion zealots use similar reasoning – if there’s something “wrong” with a preborn child, abort or let them die. If Stallone had been aborted, there would’ve been a huge void in his family’s life and in Hollywood. Sadly, there are over 60 million voids in America today due to abortion.  

Perhaps Stallone’s story will inspire mothers to choose life or help children in less-than-ideal circumstances know that their lives do matter, no matter what abortion supporters say.
