Milana Vayntrub, an American actress, said she had an abortion a decade ago and encouraged people to support reproductive rights in the United States. The 34-year-old actress wrote an opinion article for the website The Daily Beast about the day she accidently skipped her birth control and became pregnant. At the time, the Silicon Valley actress shared an apartment with her partner in an apartment she couldn’t afford while working several jobs side by side.
She revealed,
“I knew straight away that having an abortion was the proper thing to do.”
She said that she made the choice to abort the baby because she did not want to bring a child into the world that she did not want “did not want and was unable to care for.” Vayntrub was able to get the surgery done successfully in her doctor’s office within the following two weeks.
“My abortion narrative is simple and clear, based on a choice I made entirely on my own. I recognize that this is a privilege. I also recognize that access to abortion should never be considered a luxury; rather, it should be considered a protected right.”
The actress said that the birth of her first kid in 2021 emphasized the need of safeguarding reproductive rights and safe abortion access. Vayntrub said that her delivery experience, which included sickness, discomfort, and costs (both financial and emotional), was manageable since she chose it and desired a child. She was referring to a campaign undertaken in the United States by opponents of abortion rights to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark 1973 Supreme Court judgment that protected abortion rights nationally. She also spoke on the Women’s Health Protection Act and planned legislation to preserve abortion access. She then invited others to join her in drawing the government’s attention to the problem in whatever manner they could.
