During the 2007 [[2007 IndyCar Series season|IndyCar]] season, Judd criticized allowing rookie [[Milka Duno]] to race. After the final race, Judd said to reporters "I know this is not very sportsmanlike, but they've got to get the 23 car (Duno) off the track. It's very dangerous. I'm tired of holding my tongue. She shouldn't be out there. When a car is 10 miles [an hour] off the pace, it's not appropriate to be racing.

At the [[Women in the World]] summit in April 2019, Judd addressed [[Six-week abortion ban#Georgia|Georgia's six-week abortion ban]], which had been passed in March 2019. She said that she had been raped three times, and became pregnant once. She said, "As everyone knows, and I'm very open about it, I'm a three-time rape survivor. One of the times that I was raped there was conception and I'm very thankful I was able to access safe and legal abortion. Because the rapist, who is a Kentuckian, as am I, and I reside in Tennessee, has paternity rights in Kentucky and Tennessee, I would've had to co-parent with my rapist."<ref name="2019-04-13_News">[https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/ashley-judd-i-would-have-had-to-coparent-with-my-rapist/news-story/98c6ee1bb2735e4ae34e679c897847ee Ashley Judd: 'I would have had to co-parent with my rapist'], Megan Palin, News.com.au, April 13, 2019</ref>
