Actress Alyssa Milano disclosed her personal experience in having to decide to have two abortions, Insider.com reported.
Her statement came out just as the constitutionality of abortion laws across the United States are being challenged.
The Charmed actress made the revelation through a podcast, “Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry.”
She was using birth control during both pregnancies, when was in her 20s.
“It was not an easy choice,” Milano said. “It was not something I wanted, but it was something that I needed, like most healthcare is.”
She added that she was not ready to be a mother at that time.
She was in love but was not ready to give up her career. There was also her anxiety and the medication she was taking that would complicate the pregnancy.
A few months after, despite using birth control, got pregnant again.
She does not regret having the abortions.
Milano believes the option of abortions allows women “to live the life they were meant to have, not just the life that is thrust upon them by a pregnancy that cannot exist in their life.”
Milano, now 46 years old, has two children with her husband Dave Bugliari.
