Wade, saying that though she once made the tough decision to end a pregnancy, it was choice.The star took to Instagram and recalled «one of the worst days» of her life when she made the decision to terminate a pregnancy in the second trimester. «The devastating truth is that we found out the fetus would not survive to full term, and that my life was at risk as well,» she wrote in her caption.
«At the time — I had the choice.»Prepon continued, «Everyone has their own story for seeking out this medical procedure and I empathize with anyone who’s been faced with this impossible decision.
