In a new interview promoting the book, the 46-year-old Scandal alum has revealed she had an abortion.

But I started to feel like it was really important for me to share this,” she told the outlet. She states that she was in her early 20s when the unplanned pregnancy happened, and how she gave a false name to doctors to conceal her identity. “This story had so much to do with my understanding of myself and the world as my career unfolded,” she says. “It’s just so important to me that abortion is not a bad word, and that my abortion is not another thing on the list of things that I’m ashamed of.” Kerry went on, saying that the story is equally as important to touch on because of “reproductive choices” being “stripped away from us…I’m telling my truth about my life, excavating some of my secrets.
