Singer John Legend has told the BBC that abortion is a personal topic for him and his wife Chrissy Teigen ahead of the US presidential election in November.
Abortion has become a key issue after a landmark ruling from the US Supreme Court in 2022 that allowed individual American states to restrict the procedure.
Legend, who publicly endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris and appeared at last month’s Democratic National Convention, reflected on Teigen’s abortion in 2020, which she said afterwards was “an abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance”.
Speaking to Newsnight on BBC Two, the singer said it got the couple thinking about “the range of reasons that people may need an abortion”.
