Which celebrities have had abortions?
Celebrities used to be pretty open about their abortions: Ali McGraw, Whoopie Goldberg, Gloria Steinem, Billie Jean King.
And suddenly they stopped. It became too professionally dangerous to admit it although 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in her lifetime.
So whom do we know about?

Matt Damon had an abortion when he was 16. He was young and scared and didn't know where to turn.

Billie Jean King had an abortion? I know she was once married but didn't know that.
Naya Rivera said she did in her book and then her marriage collapsed.
I don't think this is something people should share.

Several actresses from Old Hollywood were rumored to have had abortions and were rendered infertile as a result. Myrna Loy, Claudette Colbert, Barbara Stanwyck and Jane Russell for starters.

Years ago I read a thread that said Cara Delevingne was such a whore she'd already had 4-5 abortions and let several guys knock her up at boarding school in England before the age of 18.

During the days of the big studio system, MGM, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. had doctors on their payroll to perform abortions on the actresses under contract. There were probably quite a few who had them.

Ali McGraw? Who was the father? I could imagine Ryan O'Neal being the cause of more than a few.

What a stupid thread. It's like asking how many celebrities have had indigestion.
Abortion is a medical procedure, nothing more. But still a private one.

It certainly looks like Ivana had a few failures at the attempt.
I do know Trump had several abortions. Trump Jr. also had a few with that blond he cheated with and probably more.

Takes two to get pregnant. I'm more curious about the fathers of the babies being aborted.

I think Rita Moreno was on Oprah in the early 90's with another famous woman who were talking about illegal abortions.
There were 2 anti abortion women on to balance out the panel & I think one of them was Phyllis Schlafly.

Whoopi Goldberg and Billie Jean King had abortions? Were they artificially inseminated or raped by escaped convicts?

They've all had abortions and a ton of STD's. I used to work at Bigelow's Chemist (pharmacy) in the West Village back in the 1990's. We filled scripts for all the models, celebs and actors
Lauren Hutton is the biggest fucking bitch on earth. And she has herpes (just like most of the models)

Rumor has it that Lucille Ball had an abortion while she was in high school back in Jamestown. She ran with a very fast crowd and took a lot of time off from school for an illness.
Didn't Lynn Redgrave and Jill Clayburgh have abortions?

Joan Crawford had several in her taxi dancer days, pre MGM. She also had several miscarriages probably due to the back alley jobs she’d had as a teen.

So why is this such a big deal to people? Are you shocked that these women had... SEX? Possibly when they weren't MARRIED? A ridiculous double standard. So far, the only interesting or entertaining post here is [R2].

It isn't 1 in 3 anymore it is 1 in 4, and will likely, and hopefully, continue to fall. Unlike in the past, there are many different forms of contraceptives, which enable women to have and enjoy as much sex as they want, without pregnancy. There is also, expected to be a male birth control pill on the market within a decade.

"The studio forced Judy Garland to get one. Drugged and kidnapped her."
Uh, no. She was married to David Rose at the time. She probably wasn't even 20 years old. She was told it would be bad for her career to have a baby at that time. It was good advice; she was barely an adult herself. She liked to make it seem like her evil mother and evil MGM forced her to have the abortion. But she just went along with it. I don't think she regretted it. And no doubt she had more abortions to come. Having an abortion, for an actress, was simply par for the course.
