12 famous women who admitted to having an abortion

"I'm still so young," "First career ...", "How can I manage alone?" Or "This is what my parents insisted" - each of the famous women had her own reason not to let a future baby come into the world.

And if the majority later hides this fact in the biography under seven seals, some celebrities had the courage to publicly admit that they were doing abortion.

1. Catherine Deneuve

The youth of one of the most beautiful women of France fell to the liberated 70s, or more precisely - to the very sexual revolution, when the society desperately struggled to remove the taboo from premarital relations and the topic of sex, the availability of contraception and the decriminalization of abortion. And actress Catherine Deneuve was one of 343 women who signed in 1971 the famous petition "For the legalization of abortions": "

"I experienced this experience four years before abortion became legal. For public women, this was difficult doubly, because this fact has always been a "secret corner", which kept in fear. Then the ban seemed to me monstrous. I was painfully aware of the fact that someone else had to authorize my decision, because this is a natural human right ... "

2. Svetlana Permyakova

Do not hide this fact in the biography and our favorite laughter - nurse Lyubochka from t / s "Interna". Today, actress Svetlana Permyakova could be a mother of two adult children, but, alas:

"I was young and stupid. Between the opportunity to give birth to a baby and a new role in the theater, I chose the second. I was twice pregnant and twice aborted. Do I regret it? And why regret? Nothing you can not return, but this is also an experience, even if not good ... "

It is interesting to hear the word "mom" actress already in 40 years and today her daughter Svetlana considers Barbara the greatest achievement in life!

3. Whoopi Goldberg

You will be surprised, but one of the most colorful actresses of Hollywood, Whoopi Goldberg lived an active sex life even when her peers only first found out the juicy details about the relationship of a man and a woman in biology classes. And even more - Whoopi confessed that at the age of 14 she interrupted her first pregnancy!

Three years later, the future actress was again informed that her second heart beat in her body and deprived herself of the happiness of motherhood, she no longer became. Then the light appeared her daughter Alex, who, by the way, made him a grandmother at 34!

4. Nicky Minaj

Nika Minazh in his life frankly everything - outfits, clips and even performances on stage. But two years ago before the publication of "Rolling Stone" the singer decided to expose not the body, but the soul:

"At the age of 16, I became pregnant with my boyfriend, who had not yet planned to start a family, and had an abortion. Then I studied at a prestigious school, dreamed of a brilliant career, and the birth of the child did not fit into my plans at all. I was not ready. I had nothing to offer the baby. But then I realized that I would die ... This is the most difficult thing that I had to endure. And this haunts me all my life! "

5. Alla Pugacheva

Today, the diva of our stage, thanks to the services of a surrogate mother, every day is pleased with the smiles of the wonderful daughter of Lisa and Harry's son. But several years ago the singer admitted that her already grown-up daughter Christina could have a brother or sister not so late:

"I can not forgive that I did not leave the child. My husband and colleagues forced me to have an abortion. And this was already a long time. I still worry, because I consider it a murder. And every time I put candles in the church to forgive me ... "

6. Tony Braxton

But one of the most successful performers of the 90s and the owner of 7 Grammy Awards Tony Braxton could not tell about the spiritual trauma associated with abortion and decided to write about it in her autobiographical book with the symbolic title "Unbreak My Heart". According to the confessions on the pages, Tony had an abortion in 2001, before she married musician Carey Lewis. Later the pair had two sons, but the singer is sure that the diagnosis of "autism", posed to her second son Diesel, is a payment for the interruption of the first pregnancy!

7. Laima Vaikule

Singer Laima Vaikule could have been a wonderful grandmother for her grandchildren for a long time, but, alas, in 62 years the popular singer never heard the word "mom", which she regrets after two abortions:

"If now I was asked if a woman can decide for herself whether to have her an abortion or not, I would answer categorically - in no event! Now I treat abortion as a murder! And I'm doomed to be alone. This is for me - the punishment of the Lord! "

8. Maria Callas

"Think about how my life would have been filled if I had resisted and saved the child?" - the opera diva Maria Callas remembered with bitterness ...

Four months it took the greatest singer to recover from this act! At age 43, Maria found out what the baby was waiting for. This was a real miracle, given the long treatment and disappointing medical statements about infertility. But the words of Onassis, for which she sacrificed her career and family life, and in return received only a long romance between his marriage with Jackie Kennedy, were more like an order: "Abortion! I do not want to have children from you. I already have two! "Alas, more than a long-awaited child, Maria was afraid of losing her Aristo ...

9. Natalia Gulkina

The future star of the group "Mirage" to do abortion in adolescence was persuaded by the parents:

"I can understand them, because I was 15 years old. But then I took everything that happened as a tragedy. Then my child's father was taken into the army, and I even wrote to him every day. But I did not wait ... "

Today in the biography of Natalia Gulkina four marriages appear, in two of which she had a son, Alex and daughter Yana.

10. Sinead O'Connor

But the performer of the hit "Nothing Compares 2 U" is another one who was not afraid to publicly admit to the interruption of pregnancy, but at the same time, without regretting what he had done:

"I had an abortion in Minneapolis when I was on tour. And I have no sense of guilt. If I had a baby then I could not be the mother he deserved ... "

11. Joanne Collins

In the life of women famous, as well as in the life of women non-public, such an event as the expectation of the baby, is planned or ... occurred at the wrong time. And then all the difficulties seem insurmountable, and the only way out is abortion ...

The British actress, producer and writer Joan Collins also found this decision the only true one when, at the age of 20, she learned that she was pregnant with her fiancé Warren Beatty, who, by the way, was also younger than her for 4 years:

"It was simply unthinkable to have a child then! Neither I nor Warren had a penny. And I believe that if you are going to bring a child into this world, you must bear responsibility for it. Then I did the right thing ... "

12. Patricia Kaas

Patricia Kaas is 50 years old, unmarried and childless. Nevertheless, she openly says that in her youth, in the prime of her career, she could have children. But at that time they did not need her - the singer several times decided on an abortion, thinking that everything is still ahead:

"I never made a decision to give birth. My body itself made the decision for me. Many times I became pregnant despite my will. Each time this caught me off guard, I was in a panic. Like, my stomach becomes independent, he decides to do what I did not intend to do. When this happened, I was never in such a deep state of being in love to want children. In addition to my profession, everything else is in doubt. Obligations frighten me. As if everything is lost beforehand. I do not trust life, or rather, I trust it less and less. Every time I made a decision and never hesitated. "
