"Abortion saved my life," Halsey recounts the most difficult moment of

Halsey recently revealed that abortion saved her life before she became pregnant with son Ender. The famous singer wrote an open letter in 'Vogue', after the recent decision of the Supreme Court to ban abortion.

Many people have asked me if, since I gave birth to a child after years of trying to do so, I have changed my attitude towards abortion. The answer is firmly no. In fact, I've never felt more convinced about it. Abortion saved my life and made way for my son to have a life. Every person deserves the right to choose when, if, and how they will have this dangerous and life-changing experience. I will hold my son in one arm and fight with all my might with the other.

Halsey, who gave birth to her first child with Alev Aydin in July 2021, also revealed she had three miscarriages before she turned 24.

It seemed a cruel irony that I could get pregnant easily but struggled to carry a pregnancy. One of my miscarriages required 'further care', a gentle way of saying that I needed an abortion because my body could not terminate the pregnancy completely on its own and I would be at great risk without medical intervention.

The singer added that she cried during the procedure because she was desperate to end the pregnancy.

I was afraid for myself and I was helpless. I was prepared for the worst. I gave detailed instructions about donating my organs if I died or was declared brain dead. How funny that while my heart was going through a series of involuntary movements on an operating table, a heart beating in my abdomen could mean I couldn't give consent to save my life.

The article comes just days after Halsey performed in Arizona and told fans they should leave the concert if they support the Supreme Court's decision on abortion rights. We remind you that recently the artist has been hospitalized very often. Halsey revealed that she has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Sjogren's Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
