The Biden administration might not yet have a strategy for dealing with the overturning of Roe v. Wade Friday, but plenty of media outlets had their pieces ready to go. We wouldn’t have seen BuzzFeed’s contribution if it weren’t listed under Twitter’s trending topics. If there’s anyone we need to hear from right now, it’s celebrities, none of whom would have gone on to fame and fortune if they hadn’t aborted their babies.
“I thought I was going to die — I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I’d ever gone through. It’d be contradictory if I said I wasn’t pro-choice — I wasn’t ready. I didn’t have anything to offer a child.” —Nicki Minaj https://t.co/h4JR2lKRyN

Well, there’s Nicki Minaj’s story. Like so many of the celebrities sharing their stories, she wasn’t ready for a child but was apparently wasn’t too young for unprotected sex.
“I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made,” tweeted Jameela Jamil. “Both for me and for the baby I didn’t want, and wasn’t ready for, emotionally, psychologically, and financially. So many children will end up in foster homes, [and] so many lives [will be] ruined.” And now she’s Jameela Jamil!
And from Stevie Nicks in 2020: “If I had not had that abortion, I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac.” Whoa.
Stevie Nicks
"If I had not had that abortion, I'm pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac. There's just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked — and there were a lot of drugs. I was doing a lot of drugs … I would have had to walk away. pic.twitter.com/IDr21aeipK— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) June 24, 2022
… I knew that the music we were going to bring to the world was going to heal so many people's hearts, and I thought: You know what? That's really important. There isn't another band in the world that has two lead women singers [and] two lead women writers."

She’d have to have given up all the drugs were she to carry the pregnancy, and the world might never have been healed by Fleetwood Mac’s music. She’s serious.
Yeah and every single story I read can be summed up in a few words:
The pregnancy inconvenienced my life so I got rid of the inconvenience. Abortion due to inconvenience is senseless murder, abortion due to life ending medical circumstances is a hard choice but medicine NTL— Donovan Palmer (@djapothic) June 25, 2022
uhm, how about trying NOT TO BECOME PREGNANT? its 2022 and we have contraceptive methods that are almost 100% effective, unlike the 80s where our options were very limited with a very low effectiveness rate

They all sacrificed a child to their career. How sad.

Maybe women and men should be less reckless in their sexual behavior. There’s more than one way to prevent pregnancy.

Those two examples?
"My career… my finances." My, my.
Do you think the baby ever had any such considerations? Any rights?
Abortion is a response to irresponsibility.
It is not responsible.
Celebrities tell you "that baby would have been responsible for damaging my career." pic.twitter.com/SYeBHyKXSy— SirChantsAlot (@SirChantsAlot) June 24, 2022
Literally almost all your stories are examples of how men and women need to be more responsible when deciding if they are ready, emotionally and financially, for child/having sex and be more proactive about using birth control….which should be free and easily accessible.

There’s NOTHING a celebrity says that is important.
