Acclaimed actress Keke Palmer shared her personal experience with abortion in response to the #YouKnowMe thread begun on Twitter by actress and talk show host Busy Philips in response to Alabama’s regressive abortion law, outlawing the procedure in all cases except if there is a “serious” health risk to the mother.
The reasons women choose to have abortions are as varied as women themselves. For the actress who’s grown up before our eyes on the small and big screen in films like Akeelah and the Bee and Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Palmer said her decision took into account the impact a pregnancy would have on her ability to fulfill her career goals.
