Women's rights lawyer Gloria Allred says she had a back-alley abortion after she was raped at gunpoint. She started hemorrhaging and had to go to the hospital, where she says a nurse told her, 'This should teach you a lesson.'
Women's rights laywer Gloria Allred is opening up about an abortion she had in the 1960s after she was raped at gunpoint in Mexico.
Allred described her experience during a rally in New York on Tuesday -- part of nationwide protests against recent abortion bans in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. More than 50 organizations took part in the protests dubbed #StopTheBans. The sexual assault happened while Allred was on vacation in her 20s, she said, and forced her to get an illegal abortion after she returned to the United States.

Proposed Law Would Require Mothers To Look At Pictures Of Congressmen She Disappointing Before Having AbortionWASHINGTON—Arguing that the measure would help women fully understand the consequences of their decision, members of the House of Representatives introduced a new bill this week that would require anyone seeking an abortion to view images of the congressmen she will disappoint prior to undergoing the procedure. “Before any pregnancy can be terminated, women will have a chance to see the faces of these politicians, which will help them make an informed decision as to whether they’d really like to go through with letting down an elected public servant,” Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) said of the proposed law, which also mandates that women listen to audio of the lawmakers’ talking points on when life begins. “What this bill does is show women that, hey, these congressmen aren’t just faceless legislators; they’re real politicians whose agendas are being destroyed. Once they see the actual eyes and ears and other features of the lawmakers whose spirits they’re breaking, I believe they’ll rethink what they’re about to do.” In response to backlash from women’s rights groups, the bill’s sponsors said that if women don’t want to view the images, they are free to close their eyes or just look away.
