Celebrities Who Had Abortion n Confessed

Celebrities who had abortions rarely come out into the open and talk about it. With the kind of lifestyle that celebrities lead and the specific demands of their profession, it is not very hard to end up with an unwanted pregnancy. And when it comes to unwanted pregnancies, celebrities are not much different from average women. Celebrities who had abortions and owned up to it are rare and brave.

Most celebrities who had abortions ended up with teenage pregnancies. They got pregnant at the age of 14 or 16 in high school. Now they look back at their abortion and feel most often that they took the right decision. Abortion laws differ from country to country. But it is mostly the public opinion that matters more than these abortion laws.
