'It has been my darkest secret until now,' the 51-year-old Hollywood star said in the op-ed published in The Washington Post.

"This law is yet another discriminatory tool against those who are economically disadvantaged," she said."Women and children of wealthy families retain all the choices in the world, and face little risk." Thurman said she was"grief-stricken" over a law that"pits citizen against citizen, creating new vigilantes who will prey on these disadvantaged women, denying them the choice not to have children they are not equipped to care for".

Thurman, who has three children, said"choosing not to keep that early pregnancy allowed me to grow up and become the mother I wanted and needed to be".
