Alyssa Milano: Life Would ‘Lack Great Joys’ Without My Two Abortions

As the abortion fight intensifies, with Planned Parenthood withdrawing from Title X government funding, and multiple abortion restrictions going into several states’ law in January, pro-choice advocates’ hysteria is at a fever pitch.
