"I had postpartum depression and then severe delayed postpartum and that's what I was dealing with," Holliday told"When I found out that I was pregnant again, I thought there's no way I could do this. I was already, for the first time, experiencing suicidal thoughts. I literally didn't want to go through any day at all. So, the thought of having to do it, to go through all of that again, destroyed me.
"I myself went through an emergency abortion 2 years ago," she wrote on social media."I was 4 1/2 months pregnant and shooting on location in Eastern Europe. I went into preterm labor and told that I had to be awake for the whole procedure. It was one of the most horrific experiences I have ever gone through. I still have nightmares about it."Actress Joan Collins revealed in her 1978 autobiography that she had an abortion in her 20s when she was engaged to Warren Beatty.
"I talk a lot about abortion and people get really freaked out. I'm not even making a political statement. I'm just talking about what happened! I have had them and I want to talk about them," she told"I don't care what your views are toward abortion, I just think women should be talking about it."
