Actress and activist Alyssa Milano recently disclosed that she underwent two abortions back in 1993.

At that time, Milano, who was in her twenties and fresh off the success of the popular TV show “Who’s the Boss?,” expressed concerns about her career and the realization that she had her whole life ahead of her.

During an episode of her podcast “Sorry Not Sorry,” the 46-year-old actress candidly shared that she felt ill-prepared for motherhood.

Despite being in a loving relationship and utilizing birth control as a precautionary measure, Milano found herself facing an unexpected pregnancy while taking Accutane, a potent acne medication known to pose risks of birth defects.

Struggling with the conflicting nature of her Catholic upbringing and the decisions she needed to make, Milano highlighted the gender disparities within her faith that limited women’s autonomy.

She emphasized the personal turmoil she experienced due to her anxiety, career aspirations, and the need to make a challenging choice.

Reflecting on her past, Milano asserted that opting for abortion was a decision she made based on her circumstances and well-being.

She stressed the significance of having agency over her body and the pivotal role that accessible healthcare played in her choices.

Despite being on birth control, Milano faced another unintended pregnancy shortly after the first one.

Once again, she stood by her decision to terminate the pregnancy, underscoring the importance of making choices that align with one’s life trajectory and values.

Today, Milano is a mother to two children, a son named Milo aged seven and a daughter named Elizabella aged four, whom she shares with her husband of a decade, CAA agent Dave Bugliari.

She credits her past decisions for enabling her to create a loving family and pursue her career and advocacy efforts.

Milano expressed gratitude for the path her life has taken, acknowledging that her journey would have been markedly different without the decisions she made regarding her pregnancies.

She highlighted the profound impact her children and husband have had on her life, emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself and fighting for freedom and equality.

In response to the surge in anti-abortion measures introduced by several states, Milano, a prominent figure in the #MeToo movement, urged women to consider a s** strike until they regained control over their reproductive rights.

She concluded her podcast by reiterating the deeply personal nature of women’s decisions regarding abortion and fiercely defending their autonomy from external scrutiny and interference.
