Note to self: reference list to include abortions on individuals bios.


This is a referenced overview list of notable women who have spoken publicly about having had an induced abortion or who have been identified as having had an abortion by reliable sources. Distinct from a spontaneous abortion, often called a miscarriage, an induced abortion is the intentional termination of a pregnancy. A woman may be included in the list regardless of the reason for the abortion, for instance whether it was a voluntary decision, a medical necessity, or a result of coercion on the part of a partner, parent, or employer.
