Jameela Jamil recently revealed that she “had an abortion when I was young”, and “it was the best decision I have ever made.”

On Twitter, The Good Place star went on to state that this decision wasn’t just right for her – it was also the right one “for the baby I didn’t want and wasn’t ready for, emotionally, psychologically and financially.”

Commenting on the new heartbeat bill in the US state of Georgia, which bans abortion as soon as a heartbeat can be heard, Jamil added: “So many children will end up in foster homes. So many lives ruined. So very cruel.”

In a separate tweet, Jamil added: “Call me whatever you like. I’m not sorry about my abortion. Contraception failed me and I did what was best for my mental and physical health at the time. And I would do it again if I had to. I don’t feel at ALL ashamed, and if you had one too, for any reason, neither should you.”
