Overview

  • In a July 1 episode of her Miss Me? podcast, Allen confessed she cannot recall the exact number of terminations she has had over the years.
  • She estimated she underwent four or five abortions after describing her body as “constantly pregnant” due to repeated birth‐control failures.
  • The singer revealed she now uses her third or fourth intrauterine device to prevent further unintended pregnancies.
  • Recalling an early abortion paid for by a partner she once considered romantic, Allen said she now rejects that interpretation as generous or affectionate.
  • Her candid discussion aims to destigmatize abortion and highlight the need for accessible, reliable contraception in women’s health.
