Uma Thurman Shares 'Darkest Secret' In Intense Essay On Texas Abortion Ban
HuffPost
The "Pulp Fiction" actor opened up in a Washington Post op-ed.
Actor Uma Thurman penned a searing essay decrying Texas’s new abortion ban ― and she revealed her “darkest secret” to reinforce her point.
The Supreme Court allowed the state’s ban on abortions after six weeks to go into effect earlier this month. The law contains no exception for rape or incest, and private citizens are empowered to sue those who assist someone in getting the procedure.
The “Pulp Fiction” star wrote in The Washington Post Tuesday that she felt compelled to share her own story about having an abortion “in the hope of drawing the flames of controversy away from the vulnerable women on whom this law will have an immediate effect. ... I feel it my responsibility to stand up in their shoes.”
