Hannah Gadsby Shares She Had an Abortion After Surviving Rape

"Had I been in that state, under these laws, under these politics at that time in my life, I would be dead. It's as simple as that," she continues. "I was assaulted, raped and very, very vulnerable. How was I going to raise a child? I would have ended up dead. How is that pro-life? You can't say women can't have abortions and then provide absolutely no infrastructure to help them.

"I think when you're in a position where you're visible you have to be [louder] for the little guys. I deal with the responsibility of being out and proud and even loud as much as I possibly can, because there are people who need to see me," Gadsby tells. "I don't need to see me. I see me every day. But I understand the importance of being a public person who can be representative of a minority.

"I kind of feel like that with autism, because of my sensitivity to my environment," she says. "So I identify not only as 'tired,' but as 'octopi.'"

Very touching

of all things to make into a comedy on Netflix? WTF y'all need to give your heads a shake, seriously!....comedy certainly has no place when it comes to such a horrific situation for any woman, regardless of race & age; you might wanna rethink your 'Netflix comedy' 😠😡

This shit is really heartbreaking

Hilarious! She is comedy gold.

Lo que no contó en Nanette szurita

No probably about it. Your baby damn sure ended up dead.

Not familiar with her but very much a fan after this. Blessed love to you !!

I wonder what those pro-life who are quick to judge do if them or their daughter, sister, mother was rape and became pregnant?

don’t most of those people have exceptions for rape?

Oh, I'd rather compound this trauma with more trauma than delivering the baby and then placing it up for adoption...this has got to stop. ProlifeIsProwoman

So sad tho……… 😔😔
