==Personal life==
Mulgrew became pregnant while acting in the lead role of Mary Ryan in ''Ryan's Hope''. "I was single, alone, and flooded with terror. But I knew I would have that baby", Mulgrew said.

Jackson Women's Health Organization]]'', Mulgrew came out with the following statement about women's choice:<blockquote>"Choice is what lifts us above other animals. If that fundamental right is restricted or removed we are then reduced as a species. 

For myself, abortion was not an alternative, but neither was the possibility of living in a society and under the jurisdiction of a coterie of aging Republican men who somehow think they can understand what it is to have a womb. They can't. We must fight for nationwide access to contraception, especially in communities where poverty and race dictate privation. Choice is the fundamental right of every human being, especially women and people who are able to give birth.

We also need more women on the Supreme Court, and we need the conversation between men and women to be better curated than it has ever been before."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Choice is an Alternative |url=https://twitter.com/thekatemulgrew/status/1542554184360280066 |access-date=August 1, 2022 |website=Twitter |language=en}}</ref></blockquote>Mulgrew is a rape survivor.<ref name="thedailybeast"/><ref name="McGovern">{{Cite web |date=April 7, 2015 |author=Joe McGovern |url=https://ew.com/article/2015/04/07/kate-mulgrew-born-with-teeth-interview/ |title=Kate Mulgrew talks her new memoir, acting her age, and why she won't get plastic surgery |website=EW.com}}</ref>
