“Children are our future, and a blessing from God, not a burden that so many people — specifically people who are only focused on their own achievement and goals — make them out to be,” Wilson told Faithwire.
Milano had previously talked about her past abortions on her podcast “Sorry Not Sorry.” In the 1990s, she said she had two abortions months apart from each other.
She added that abortion “was absolutely the right choice for me” because she was “not ready” to be a parent.
