Actress Keke Palmer is opening up about her abortion experience amid backlash from Alabama’s near-total abortion ban.
The 25-year-old entertainer took to Twitter where she revealed how she felt “disheartened” about the near-total abortion ban in Alabama and shared her own abortion story.
“I was worried about my career responsibilities and afraid that I could not exist as both a career woman and mother,” she tweeted, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Palmer went on to delete the tweet due to how “flat” Twitter can be.
“Twitter is sometimes too flat and too short to express intimate sentiments. Words without context, very annoying,” she wrote in a new tweet. “I am disheartened about hearing the news in Alabama. I feel as if women rights laws are going backwards. Individual choice is being taken. I’m truly so confused at the world [right now] and the policies that follow.”

Making individual choices is not a betrayal to your faith. Mainly, because God knows your heart and your journey. God never judges. I hate that it’s always a this vs that, instead of an “I understand YOUR PERSPECTIVE.”
