Busy Philipps Opens Up About Abortion

US talk-show host Busy Philipps has opened up about her experience of abortion as a teenager.

The actress made the comments after new legislation was passed in the state of Georgia to outlaw most terminations once a foetal heartbeat is detected, a development that usually occurs at around six weeks.

Busy used her platform on her late night talk show 'Busy Tonight' to insist that only pregnant women and their doctors can decide what to do with unborn children.

Speaking on the episode which aired on Tuesday 07 May she said: "I know that people feel very strongly about abortion, but let me just say this: Women and their doctors are in the best position to make informed decisions about what is best for them. Nobody else, nobody.

"And here is the reality the statistic is that one in four women will have an abortion before age 45. That statistic sometimes surprises people, and maybe you're sitting there thinking, 'I don't know a woman who would have an abortion'. Well, you know me."

She confessed that she was just 15 when she had her own termination and believes women need to be brave and share their experiences.

She added: "I had an abortion when I was 15 years old and I'm telling you this because I'm genuinely really scared for women and girls all over this country. I think we all need to talk about it and share our stories more."
