Cher Reveals She Suffered Three Miscarriages, the First When She Was 18 Years Old
Cher is opening up about her own experiences with pregnancy loss in the aftermath of last month’s controversial Roe v. Wade reversal, which brought nearly 50 years of federal abortion rights to an end. In a tweet shared Monday, the “Believe” singer shared that she suffered three miscarriages, one of which sent her to the hospital, screaming in pain.
When I was young I had 3 miscarriages. 1st at 18.I was alone in our house. son came home & I was sobbing,& rocking on our floor. when I got 2 dr I was screaming in pain. couldn’t even stop in elevator,” the 76-year-old music icon recalled before wondering what would happen to her today if she had to undergo a similar procedure. “dr sent me straight 2 hospital,& in2 operating rm.WHAT WOULD HAPPEN 2 ME TODAY?.”
Cher went on to welcome two children: Chaz Bono, with Sonny (who died in 1998 at age 62), and Elijah Blue Allman, with second husband Gregg Allman, who died in 2017 at age 69.
Cher has been open on social media about her pro-choice stance and tweeted in the early hours of Tuesday morning, “WOMEN ARE SUFFERING & WILL EITHER BLEED OUT,WHILE DRS LOOK ON,OR BE SENT HOME TILL THEIR COMPLICATIONS ARE BRINGING THEM CLOSE TO⚰️.”
“IF SENATE & CONGRESS GO TO REPUBLICANS … THERE WILL BE NO ABORTIONS, OR PRE NATAL CARE IN [the U.S.],” she said in another tweet. “WOMEN WILL BLEED OUT,& DIE,WHILE SOME GROUPOF OLD WHITE REPUBLICAN ‘MEN’ DECIDE WHAT MEDICAL TREATMENT U DESERVE.”
Rita Moreno, Jodie Sweeten, Ireland Baldwin and many other celebs have shared their stories both in support of women and in light of the shocking supreme court decision.
