Alyssa Milano is opening up about her personal experience with abortion.
The actress and activist, 46, who has been speaking out in protest as states pass restrictive abortion laws, shared her own abortion story in the latest episode of her podcast Sorry Not Sorry. Noting that one in four women in the U.S. will have the procedure by the age of 45, she revealed that she one of them — and detailed why she elected to have the procedure two times in her early 20s.
“In 1993, I had two abortions,” Milano shared. “I was in love for the first time in the breathless way you can only be in love when you are young. It was huge — overwhelming even. It filled every part of living. It was a joyful and exciting and powerful time in my life.”
While the Who’s the Boss alum didn’t say who her partner was, Milano fell in love with actor Scott Wolf that year while making Double Dragon. The pair moved in together months later after and became engaged just months after that.
Milano said she was on the pill because “she knew she was not ready to be a parent” as she pursued her career. Additionally, she was taking the controversial acne-fighting medicine Accutane, which is known to cause birth defects in pregnancies. And while she was using birth control, “I. Still. Got. Pregnant,” she said.
Milano talked about what an emotional experience it was for her, especially coming from a Catholic upbringing. But she knew she was “not equipped to be a mother and so I chose to have an abortion. I chose. It was my choice. And it was absolutely the right choice for me.”

So she’s an unrepentant killer. Explains so much.
They know what causes that now.
One of the most effective birth control methods is an ordinary aspirin. All a woman needs to do is hold it between her knees whenever she is thinking of having sex.
"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."
If one woman has four abortions and 15 women have none, then statistically on average one in four have abortions.
The 25%ers, not a happy club.
Not just any acting career, we're talking about a show called "Who's the boss", really important stuff here.
