The recent US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade prompted Teigen to rethink how she'd processed her loss, an abortion to 'save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance.'
Teigan bravely revealed this information when she spoke on Thursday at a summit called. “Two years ago, when I was pregnant with Jack, John and my third child, I had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions. It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention,” said Teigen.
“Let’s just call it what it was,” said Teigen. “It was an abortion. An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance.” Although she didn’t explain further, it’s likely Jack developed in such a way that doctors determined he would not survive—and that Teigen herself might not either, had she decided to carry Jack to term. An abortion can be a life-saving procedure and it sounds like Teigan and Legend had to make a heartbreaking decision to ensure that their existing kids, Luna and Miles, wouldn’t lose their mom.
The recent US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade prompted Teigen to think about her loss again and rethink how she’d processed it and shared it with the world. “I fell silent, feeling weird that I hadn’t made sense of it that way,” she said.
In the US, all of the 13 states that have banned abortion have some exemptions to save the life of the mother. However, according to thegoes on to report that doctors in several states “have already been forced to significantly alter the care they provide to women whose pregnancy complications put them at high risk of harm.”Subscribe to Today's Parent's daily newsletter for our best parenting news, tips, essays and recipes.
