Chrissy Teigen blurts out 2020 ‘miscarriage’ was actually a ‘life-saving’ abortion

Elitist left-wing model Chrissy Teigen had plenty to say about losing her baby in 2020, sharing her grief on social media and in an essay published on Medium that led folks to believe she had a miscarriage.

What Teigen didn’t share among the outpouring of sympathy was that she had an abortion — at least, that’s what she’s saying nearly two years later, with the issue of abortion being seen by many on the left as a possible salvation for the Democratic Party in the midterm elections.

Naturally, she is at the center of the new narrative, claiming that her life was at risk when she and her musician husband John Legend made the “difficult decision” to terminate the pregnancy at 20 weeks —  at the time, they said it was a miscarriage. While pro-abortion advocates call a 20-week-old baby a clump of cells, Teigen named the baby boy who did not survive Jack.

Speaking at social impact agency Propper Daley’s “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation” summit, Teigen said Thursday she was shocked to learn that she actually had an abortion, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Two years ago, when I was pregnant with Jack, John and my third child, I had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions. It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention,” she said.

Teigen, who is currently pregnant, was discussing the loss when she stopped and blurted out, “Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion.”

“An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance,” the model said. “And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.”

After the Supreme Court overturned  Roe v. Wade, THR reported that Teigen told Legend she “felt sympathy toward people who have an abortion and the circumstances they had to go through and the emotional decision ‘they’ had to make, when Legend made her realize that she was in fact one of those people.”

“I fell silent, feeling weird that I hadn’t made sense of it that way,” she then said. “I told the world we had a miscarriage, the world agreed we had a miscarriage, all the headlines said it was a miscarriage. And I became really frustrated that I didn’t, in the first place, say what it was, and I felt silly that it had taken me over a year to actually understand that we had had an abortion.”

It’s not clear why Teigen would not have understood what had happened.

In 2020, Teigen wrote that she was admitted to the hospital after persistent bleeding and multiple blood transfusions, and diagnosed with partial placenta abruption, adding that she “was induced to deliver our 20-week-old.”

“I had already come to terms with what would happen: I would have an epidural and be induced to deliver our 20 week old, a boy that would have never survived in my belly (please excuse these simple terms),” Teigen wrote. “I was previously on bedrest for over a month, just trying to get the little dude to 28 weeks, a ‘safer’ zone for the fetus.”

She would share a photo of herself sobbing after the baby was lost, prompting many to question why she would have the mind to do so at such an intimate moment:

“My bleeding was getting heavier and heavier. The fluid around Jack had become very low – he was barely able to float around. At some points, I swore it was so low I could lay on my back and feel his arms and legs from outside my belly,” she added at the time.

“After a couple nights at the hospital, my doctor told me exactly what I knew was coming – it was time to say goodbye,” Teigen continued. “He just wouldn’t survive this, and if it went on any longer, I might not either. We had tried bags and bags of blood transfusions, every single one going right through me like we hadn’t done anything at all.

“I was told it would be time to let go in the morning. I cried a little at first, then went into full blown convulsions of snot and tears, my breath not able to catch up with my own incredibly deep sadness. Even as I write this now, I can feel the pain all over again. Oxygen was placed over my nose and mouth, and that was the first picture you saw. Utter and complete sadness.”
