Milla Jovovich, bivša manekenka i glumica, osudila je novi zakon koji će se uskoro uvesti u američku saveznu državu Georgiju i koji će zabraniti pobačaj nakon šeste sedmice trudnoće. Naime, potpisom guvernera Briana Kempa, Georgia je postala šesta država uz Ohio, Kentucky, Iowu, North Dakotu i Mississippi, koja uvodi sporni zakon. Žene bi, zahvaljujući novim odredbama, mogle završiti u doživotnom zatvoru ako prekinu trudnoću nakon ovog roka.

I don’t like to get political and I try to only do it if a really have to and this is one of those times. If someone doesn’t want to continue reading, you have been warned. Our rights as women to obtain safe abortions by experienced doctors are again at stake. Last Tuesday, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a draconian bill into law that outlaws all abortions after six weeks — before most women even realize they’re pregnant — including in cases of RAPE OR INCEST. This makes Georgia the sixth state to pass such a restrictive six-week abortion ban, joining Ohio, Mississippi, Kentucky, Iowa, and North Dakota. These laws haven’t been passed yet, but lawmakers in these states are trying. Abortion is hard enough for women on an emotional level without having to go through it in potentially unsafe and unsanitary conditions. I myself went through an emergency abortion 2 years ago. I was 4 1/2 months pregnant and shooting on location in Eastern Europe. I went into pre term labor and told that I had to be awake for the whole procedure. It was one of the most horrific experiences I have ever gone through. I still have nightmares about it. I was alone and helpless. When I think about the fact that women might have to face abortions in even worse conditions than I did because of new laws, my stomach turns. I spiraled into one of the worst depressions of my life and had to work extremely hard to find my way out. I took time off of my career. I isolated myself for months and had to keep a strong face for my two amazing kids. I started gardening, eating healthier and going to the gym everyday because I didn’t want to jump into taking anti depressants unless I had tried every other alternative. Thank God I was able to find my way out of that personal hell without turning to medication, but the memory of what I went through and what I lost will be with me till the day I die. Abortion is a nightmare at its best. No woman wants to go through that. But we have to fight to make sure our rights are preserved to obtain a safe one if we need to. I never wanted to speak about this experience. But I cannot remain silent when so much is at stake. #prochoice #prochoicegeneration

Milla se obratila pratiteljima na Instagramu i poručila ženama da se bore.

– Ne želim se baviti političkim pitanjima osim kada to nije nužno, kao sad. Naša prava na siguran pobačaj ponovno su ugrožena. Neke žene prije tog razdoblja uopće niti ne znaju da su trudne, a zakon brani pobačaj i u slučaju silovanja ili incesta. Ženama je pobačaj dovoljno težak na emocionalnoj razini, a kamoli da kroz njega moraju prolaziti u nesigurnim i nehigijenskim uslovima. Prije dvije godine sam sama doživjela spontani pobačaj dok sam snimala film u istočnoj Evropi. Dobila sam preuranjene trudove kada sam bila samo četiri i po mjeseca trudna i tada su nastale komplikacije. Nisu mi dali nikakvu anesteziju, morala sam biti budna tokom cijelog postupka. To je bilo jedno od najstrašnijih iskustava koje sam ikada doživjela. Još uvijek imam noćne more, bila sam sama i bespomoćna. Kada pomislim da bi žene morale prolaziti kroz pobačaj u još gorim uslovima zbog novih zakona, želudac mi se okrene – napisala je Milla.

Njeno zdravlje je bilo ozbiljno narušeno.

– Pala sam u jednu od najgorih depresija u svom životu i morala sam se jako truditi kako bih se iščupala iz nje, prvenstveno zbog moje dvije kćerke. Sjećanje na ono što sam prošla pratit će me do kraja života. Nijedna žena ne želi proći kroz to. Zato se moramo boriti kako bi očuvale svoja prava ako nam ikada zatrebaju – istakla je glumica.
