Singer and X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger has said she hopes a new acting role may exert a positive influence on women who may be considering an abortion.
The former Pussycat Dolls singer plays Penny, a character who has an abortion, in a television remake of Dirty Dancing.
Scherzinger, a Catholic, said she almost turned down the part because she did not want to be seen to be promoting abortion.
“But hopefully can learn from her ways and I can be a positive influence," she told the Daily Mail. "I just want to encourage everybody to keep your babies.”
