Lily Allen Says She Can't Remember How Many Abortions She's Had

She also recounted switching to an IUD in her early twenties after frequent unintended pregnancies.

Overview

  • On the July 1 episode of her Miss Me? podcast, Allen estimated she’s had around four or five abortions but admitted she can’t recall the exact number.
  • She described her pre-IUD years as a "complete disaster area" when she often faced unintended pregnancies.
  • Allen recalled one partner paying for an abortion, a gesture she first deemed romantic before later dismissing it as misguided.
  • Podcast co-host Miquita Oliver revealed she has had about five abortions, highlighting their mutual support in discussing reproductive experiences.
  • Allen argued that simply not wanting a baby is sufficient justification for terminating a pregnancy and called for more honest conversations about reproductive choices.
