Celebrities who spoke out about their abortions

In May 2019, Jamil shared an article from Slate on Twitter regarding Georgia’s law and called it “upsetting, inhumane, and blatantly demonstrative of a hatred of women, a disregard for our rights, bodies, mental health, and essentially a punishment for rape victims, forcing to carry the baby of their rapist.”

The actress said that having an abortion when she was “young” was for the better “both for me, and for the baby I didn’t want, and wasn’t ready for, emotionally, psychologically and financially.”

Jamil added that with the new law, she thinks that “many children will end up in foster homes” and the influx will make it “hard to find great fostering for them all.”

She also said that the anti-abortion law “is also especially targeted at those without the means/ability to move state. Women who are marginalized, poor or disabled will, as ever, be the ones to suffer the most. The wealthy will have so much more freedom.”
