Pop star John Legend was recently interviewed by Shannon Sharpe on on Club Shay Shay, where they discussed a number of issues… including the supposed “abortion” his wife Chrissy Teigen had. But as Live Action News has addressed before, striving to save life and being unable to do so does not require intentionally killing<\/em> another human being by induced abortion.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Legend and Teigen lost their son, Jack, in a heartbreaking experience<\/a> that they shared with the world. In black-and-white-photos, Teigen was seen crying in her hospital bed, receiving what appeared to be an epidural, and holding baby Jack as she cried. According to Teigen, she was having complications due to problems with her placenta before Jack died, and that, despite the best efforts of doctors to save Jack\u2019s life<\/em><\/strong>, they were unable to.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we\u2019ve never felt before,\u201d she wrote at the time. \u201cWe were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn\u2019t enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until two years later, after<\/strong> the Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em> decision overturned Roe v. Wade<\/em>, that Teigen suddenly began to claim that she had an abortion<\/em>… and said it was her husband who made her realize<\/em> she had a supposed abortion, as opposed to a natural death which doctors sought to prevent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was talking about it from a place of, \u2018I feel so bad for \u2026 anyone who\u2019s ever had to go through that, and they\u2019re not able to make a choice of their own body,\u2019 and he was like, \u2018Well, you had an abortion,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cI was like, what? I had no idea \u2026 I just assumed that I had miscarried.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why would anyone want people to think they’d had an abortion when they actually had not? One reason could be ignorance of what an induced abortion actually is, opposed to an early delivery to save a mother’s life. Another reason could simply be the desire to jump aboard the “I had a necessary\/empowering abortion” train that has become<\/a> popular<\/a> with Hollywood celebrities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the interview with Sharpe, Legend repeated the claim that his wife had aborted their child, claiming “she had a lifesaving abortion.”<\/p>\n
