The White Lotus Characters and Their Stance on Reproductive Rights

Season 3 of The White Lotus brought us another round of stunning visuals, intense family drama, and thought-provoking conversations — and naturally, we couldn’t help but wonder: Where would these iconic characters stand when it comes to reproductive rights?

From subtle allies to covert anti-abortion donors, here’s a look at how we imagine each character aligns on the issue of abortion access and reproductive healthcare.

Valentin – Arnas Fedaravičius

Valentin says all the right things to impress others, especially when trying to win over someone attractive. However, deep down, he holds the belief that abortion is wrong — largely influenced by his bro’s opinions on a men’s rights podcast.

Timothy Ratliff – Jason Isaacs

Timothy’s corporate background and obsession with “family values” scream conservative views. While he may offer a perfectly rehearsed “I respect all sides” speech, behind closed doors, he donates to anti-abortion PACs, maintaining a starkly different stance.

Victoria Ratliff – Parker Posey

Victoria insists she’s all about “traditional values,” and the mere mention of abortion makes her clutch her pearls. However, if Piper needed an abortion, Victoria wouldn’t hesitate to book the appointment herself. “Piper, nooooo, don’t have a baby with that Buddhist man!”

Rick Hatchett – Walton Goggins

Rick calls abortion a “complicated issue,” but in reality, he doesn’t care unless it directly impacts him. “What if my mother had aborted me?” is something he’s said unironically, showing his lack of genuine concern.

Gary (Greg Hunt) – Jon Gries

Gary would never initiate a discussion about abortion but believes people should “just do what they want” — as long as it’s done quietly and doesn’t disrupt his business empire. His personal motto? “No politics at the dinner table.”

Sritala Hollinger – Lek Patravadi

Sritala keeps her views neutral for the cameras, but privately she is pro-choice. Too savvy to engage in political discourse, she maintains a public image of neutrality while quietly writing generous checks to support reproductive rights.

Saxon Ratliff – Patrick Schwarzenegger

Saxon has paid for an abortion before, and believes that alone makes him a feminist. He says, “It’s not my place to decide,” but also considers “reproductive justice” a term better suited for a band name.

Kate Bohr – Leslie Bibb

Kate’s stance depends entirely on who’s asking. While she supports abortion in theory, she keeps her views under wraps in order to avoid uncomfortable conversations with her HOA. One awkward question, and she’ll change the subject to brunch.

Lochlan Ratliff – Sam Nivola

Lochlan claims to be pro-choice because “duh, it’s 2025,” but hasn’t actually thought about it much beyond that. He tags along to rallies with his sister but still giggles at the word “uterus.”

Jaclyn Lemon – Michelle Monaghan

Jaclyn’s Hollywood connections and progressive circles likely make her supportive of reproductive rights, though she sometimes says things like, “Nobody wants an abortion.” Still, she’s always good for a donation and a signature.

Gaitok – Tayme Thapthimthong

Gaitok is a firm believer in bodily autonomy, preferring to stay uninvolved. However, if you ask, he’d gladly drive you to your appointment and bring your favorite snacks to make you feel supported.

Piper Ratliff – Sarah Catherine Hook

Piper is loudly pro-abortion on campus, but she’s still figuring out how to challenge her family’s “respectability” politics. She’s active on social media, posting all the right pro-choice infographics.

Laurie Duffy – Carrie Coon

Laurie is fiercely pro-choice and unafraid to speak her mind. She once got into a heated debate at a dinner party about abortion bans in the South and won — leaving the group chat forever changed.

Chelsea – Aimee Lou Wood

Chelsea is a staunch believer in empowering people to make informed choices about their bodies. She’s read The Turnaway Study, supports local abortion funds, and recommends ineedana.com like it’s her favorite skincare brand.

Belinda Lindsey – Natasha Rothwell

Belinda’s deep commitment to personal well-being makes her a strong advocate for reproductive rights. She understands how wealth and power influence access to reproductive care, because she’s lived it. Her support is both personal and unapologetic.

Pornchai – Dom Hetrakul

Pornchai is the ultimate pro-abortion ally. He knows what reproductive justice truly means and believes that it’s up to the individual to decide what’s best for them. He is a fierce supporter of independent abortion providers. We stan!

TL;DR: Reproductive rights aren’t a plot twist; they are essential, lifesaving healthcare. Whether you’re surrounded by supportive allies or facing judgment from a Victoria Ratliff type in White Lotus, you deserve access to safe, legal, and compassionate abortion care.

If you or someone you know needs an abortion, STI testing, or birth control, Oyrafem is here. We provide medically-supported care online or by scheduling an appointment.
