Actress Alyssa Milano was once famous for her work on television, appearing on shows like “Who’s The Boss?,” “Charmed,” and “My Name Is Earl.” Lately, however, her political activism has been getting her more attention than her career, especially when it comes to\u00a0abortion<\/a>. Milano is an ardent, outspoken abortion supporter, even calling for boycotts<\/a> against pro-life states. In the latest episode of her podcast, titled “Sorry Not Sorry,”<\/a> Milano opened up about her own past, admitting that she herself had two abortions in one year, when she was 20 years old and in a serious relationship.<\/p>\n

Claiming that one in four women will undergo an abortion in the United States (a questionable statistic<\/a>), Milano began by saying, “I’m Alyssa Milano, and I’ve had an abortion. I control my own body. Sorry, not sorry.” After sharing abortion stories from other women, interspersed with pro-abortion talking points and even pro-abortion poetry, Milano finally shared her own story.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1993, I had two abortions,\u201d she said. \u201cI was in love for the first time in the breathless way you can only be in love when you are young. It was huge \u2014 overwhelming even. It filled every part of living, and it was a joyful and exciting and powerful time in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that she was on the birth control pill, because she was not ready to become a parent, as her career was flourishing and she had her life before her. She was also taking Accutane, an acne medication that can cause birth defects. This also played into her decision to use birth control. “I still got pregnant<\/em>,” she said firmly. “It was devastating. I was raised Catholic, and was suddenly put in conflict with my faith, a faith I was coming to realize only empowered men to make every single decision about what was allowed and what was not allowed. I had a career, and a future, and potential.” She said she also had “sometimes crippling” anxiety and felt she was not cut out to be a mother. She called her abortion “absolutely the right choice for me.”<\/p>\n

“It was not an easy choice. It was not something I wanted, but it was something that I needed — like most health care is,” she said.<\/p>\n

But so many who have abortions treat it as something far more impacting and ’empowering’ than simple health care — yet in the same breath, claim it’s just like all other medical procedures. The fact is, women instinctively know abortion is not just any procedure<\/a>. Ending a pregnancy is ending a human life. It’s not like getting a root canal. In addition, Milano admits that birth control can and does fail<\/em>, and yet, thanks to the sexual revolution, society has been trained to view sex as something they have a “right” to without<\/em>\u00a0any children who might be conceived in the reproductive act.<\/p>\n
