'Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin' Star Shares Powerful Story About Life-Saving Abortion
The radio host has been an outspoken advocate for reproductive rights and has publicly shared her experience with abortion. The Blast shared that in 2019 after the controversial 'heartbeat bill' was signed in Georgia, she revealed that she had undergone the procedure.
She did so in 2021 and in 2022 when the U.S. Supreme Court chose to overturn Roe v. Wade. In the wake of the decision, the star appeared on an episode of "The View" and expressed her disappointment.
Joy Behar asked her about her thoughts on Republicans' latest efforts to restrict women's rights. Jamil responded by recalling that she had an abortion when the condom she was using broke.
She explained that even though she used a contraceptive afterward, it did not work because of her weight – a knowledge she noted was not so common. "The Official Chart" host emphasized that the pregnancy was not her fault and she should not have to risk or give up the rest of her life because of a failed contraception made by men.
She explained that the entire society would be at risk of collapse if millions of people were forced to have children without access to essential services like baby formula, healthcare, education, and shelter.
