Like privileged Hollywood elites Alyssa Milano and actress Michelle Williams before her, Uma Thurman is the latest celebrity to use the story of her abortion to bash pro-life policies. The Kill Bill star, in an op-ed published by the far-left Washington Post, criticized Texas’ “heartbeat” law and revealed her own abortion when she was a teenager, proclaiming, “I have no regrets.”
“I have followed the course of Texas’s radical antiabortion law with great sadness, and something akin to horror,” Thurman wrote of Texas’ law in an op-ed for the Washington Post. In what she calls her “darkest secret until now,” Thurman details an abortion after being “accidentally impregnated” as a teen living in Europe.
Thurman, who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, justified her reason for terminating the pregnancy, saying her relationship with the would-be father was “not viable” as she was “just starting out in my career and didn’t have the means to provide a stable home, even for myself. We decided as a family that I couldn’t go through with the pregnancy, and agreed that termination was the right choice.”
While her life has included “heartbreak, challenge, loss, and fear,” Thurman said she’s lived an “extraordinary” life — she now worth an estimated $45 Million — and eventually “conceived my beautiful, magical children with men whom I loved and trusted enough to dare to bring a child into this world.”
