Actress Sharon Stone admits she had a 'secret' abortion as a teen
Actress Sharon Stone recently opened up about having an abortion as a teenager.
Sharon Stone is an American actress and model known for playing femme fatales.
She recently appeared in an interview with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, where she said she had undergone an abortion as a teenager.
Many female celebrities have credited abortion for their career success.
Sharon Stone is an American actress who got her start in Hollywood as a model before breaking into acting. Her first major role was in "Total Recall," and she would go on to star in other movies like "Basic Instinct," "Casino," and "Sphere." She has been nominated for an Academy Award, and has won Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
Stone recently appeared on "IMO" with hosts Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, where she said she had an abortion as a teenager while dating an older man.
Stone said:
"My boyfriend was 23, was an engineer on the railroad, an electrician on the railroad, which was, in our town, a very tony job, right? It was a super high paying job," she said. "I mean, he had a fancy car, a fancy motorcycle, his own place, regular employment. And being an electrician on the railroad was like top drawer, right?
But he didn't have any knowledge or information that I should have some kind of birth control. And I had no... like, when I tell you, I could have been the girl who gave birth in the bathroom stall."
She initially had no idea she was pregnant, until her parents and her boyfriend thought she had been gaining weight, and finally realized she was pregnant. Stone first revealed that she had an abortion in her 2021 book, "The Beauty of Living Twice." She wrote that after the abortion...
“I was bleeding all over the place and far worse than I should have been, but this was a secret and I had no one to tell. So I stayed in my room and bled for days. I was weak and scared and then just weak.”
In her interview, Stone hit back against laws protecting preborn children, making some specious claims:
"Now we don't want to give women care, OB/GYN care, and we want to prosecute women for having a miscarriage. What kind of arcane b*** is this? If men got pregnant, you could get an abortion from a vending machine."
Multiple female celebrities have spoken positively about abortion, and how they believe women need to end their preborn children's lives to be successful.
This includes actresses Michelle Williams, Stevie Nicks, Alyssa Milano, and Cecily Strong, who have all positively spoken about having abortions, and credit their successful careers to their abortions. Actress Busy Philipps specifically credited abortion for giving her a “beautiful life.”
Michelle Williams accepted a Golden Globes award while visibly pregnant, and in her speech, advocated for abortion, insinuating that she had one herself in the past, which allowed her to be successful.
“I’m grateful for the acknowledgment of the choices I’ve made, and I’m also grateful to have lived at a moment in our society where choice exists. Because as women and as girls, things can happen to our bodies that are not our choice. I’ve tried my very best to live a life of my own making, and not just a series of events that happened to me, but one that I could stand back and look at and recognize my handwriting all over — sometimes messy and scrawling, sometimes careful and precise — but one that I had carved with my own hand," she said, adding:
"And I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose, to choose when to have my children and with whom.”
By Sharon Stone's admission, however, her own abortion was a traumatic experience, one that even more women will likely experience with the increase in at-home, telehealth abortions. Women can order pills online, without any supervision from a doctor, and then take them at home, alone, where they bleed and suffer all the potential side effects and risks on their own.
Abortion is not empowering, and no woman should feel forced to choose between her child and her education or career.
