Sharon Osbourne has spoken up about having an abortion at the age of 17 and being disgraced and chastised by her mother, who did not accompany her to the surgery. "I went by myself. In 2004, she told The Daily Mail, "I was afraid." "There were other young girls there, and we were all horrified and staring at each other, and nobody said a damned word." It was horrific, and I howled my way through it."#13 Rita Moreno

Chelsea Handler became pregnant at the age of 16, and her parents took her to Planned Parenthood for an abortion. "I paradoxically felt parented while having an abortion." "And when it was all said and done, I was relieved in every sense," she wrote in Playboy in 2016. That following year, she became pregnant again and had another abortion. "Everyone makes mistakes all the time." At the age of 16, I made two mistakes. I'm glad I came to my senses and was able to have an abortion legally without jeopardizing my health or bankrupting myself or my family. I'm 41 now. I never look back and say to myself, "God, I wish I'd had that baby."#15 Alyssa Milano

Toni Braxton revealed in her biography, Unbreak My Heart, that she had an abortion while she was in her 30s. She was "bankrupt" and using Accutane (isotretinoin), a medicine that can cause serious birth abnormalities if used while pregnant. "I was abruptly confronted with a decision I'd never expected to have to make," she wrote. "Despite my deep reservations about abortion, I finally made the agonizing decision." For Braxton, a pastor's descendant from two generations, the decision was filled with shame and anguish.#17 Minka Kelly
