Laura Prepon has told how having an abortion 'saved her life' after she found out her unborn baby would not survive and her own life was at risk.
The Orange Is The New Black star, 42, opened up about her abortion experience following the overruling of Roe v. Wade, which will allow many U.S. states to restrict or make abortion illegal on Friday.
Laura revealed that while the day she terminated her pregnancy was 'the worst of her life', she admitted she was 'grateful to have a choice', as people in her position may now be forced to go through to full term, despite the risks.
