Her alter-ego Jessa booked herself in for an abortion in season one of Girls before her very late period arrived, but actress and artist Jemima Kirke actually went through with one.
Girls actress Jemima Kirke, 29, is now a proud mum, but the actress has revealed that in 2007 she ended a pregnancy.
At the time, Kirke was a college student in Rhode Island, and now, eight years later, is using her voice to help banish the stigma associated with abortion.
Kirke is one of very few celebrities to talk openly about abortion and her personal experiences with it, underlining the embarrassment and shame many women feel and the tendency to tiptoe around the issue – or avoid it completely.
