My body is my choice: Sharon Stone, Uma Thurman and other celebrities who have had abortions

In late 1969, the slogan "My body is my choice" became a symbol of the feminist struggle for reproductive rights. In particular, abortion. Earlier these words were used at rallies, protests and demonstrations. Now they are also used in online publications with the hashtag #MYBODYMYCHOICE.

Due to the fact that abortion is still banned in some countries in the XXI century, this has prompted many celebrities to speak publicly about their own experience of terminating a pregnancy. Not for PR purposes. So they remind that it is surgical intervention or appropriate medication that allows people to live the life they want. In detail - in the material OBOZREVATEL.
