At the time — I had the choice.”
Prepon continued, stressing, “Everyone has their own story for seeking out this medical procedure and I empathize with anyone who’s been faced with this impossible decision.” She ended on a somewhat hopeful note, saying she hoped that Americans could “get through this challenging time and regain agency over our own bodies.”
The actor, who shares two kids with her husband, Ben Foster, first opened up about her abortion story in her 2020 book You & I As Mothers. In her book, she wrote about welcoming her first child, a daughter, in 2017 before getting pregnant again in 2018. At the 16-week sonogram, she learned that her baby had cystic hygroma, a condition caused by an abnormal development of the lymphatic vascular system.
