Here’s why Alyssa Milano’s abortion story is so important AlyssaMilano
“In 1993, I had two abortions,” Milano shared. “I was in love for the first time, in the breathless way you can only be in love when you are young. It was huge, overwhelming even. It filled every part of living. And it was a joyful and exciting and powerful time in my life.
“I knew at that time I was not equipped to be a mother,” she continued, “and so I chose to have an abortion. “I chose. It was my choice. And it was absolutely the right choice for me. It was not an easy choice. It was not something I wanted, but it was something that I needed, like most healthcare is.”Milano also reflected on how her choice to have an abortion has given her the freedom to live her life – and stressed that restricting abortion removes the freedom for other women to make the same choice as her, should they choose to.
“I would not have my children… who have a mother who was so very, very ready for them. I would not have my career. I would not have the ability or platform I use to fight against oppression with all my heart… I would never had been free to be myself – and that’s what this fight is all about: freedom.”Milano isn’t the first high-profile celebrity to open up about her abortion experience.
