Kanye West Opens Up About Kim Kardashian Almost Going Through With Abortion
Kanye West previously revealed that he and his wife, Kim Kardashian West, had considered an abortion when she was pregnant with their first child, North. He made that shocking revelation during his first presidential campaign rally back in July. At the event in South Carolina, West said that if he were elected president, he would fight to keep abortion legal but would strongly discourage it by offering people $1 million for every child they have.
In an interview with Nick Cannon, Kanye west talked more on that topic while sharing what he and Kim were going through when they thought about going through with the termination. He started off, “For anyone who wants to tear me down for crying, you realize that because of South Carolina, there are people who have decided to have a child? Because they connected. And if they were on the fence about it, they never saw anyone in my position take that position and say, ‘Look at this. This is a 7-year-old right here. And she might have never made it here.’”
West, 43, added: “So when I talk to my father, my father made me apologize to him for bringing this up publicly. He also said that the abortion culture teaches people that a child isn’t a real soul. And it was my wife that said, ‘This is a soul.’ And the scariest thing is, she had the pills—you know, you take these pills, you take them and the next morning the baby’s gone—she had the pills in her hand.”
When asked how he felt about the backlash he receives for his pro-life stance, Kanye said: “It’s a topic they say us as men, us two men sitting here should not be sitting here having a conversation about abortion,” he said. However, Kanye explained that it’s a strategy to take the male opinion out of any conversation. “You need the male and the female opinion. And also, it’s both people’s child.”
