American athletics great Sanya Richards-Ross says revealing in her autobiography she had an abortion on the eve of leaving for the 2008 Beijing Olympics has helped the healing process for many women.
The 34-year-old Jamaican-born 400 metres specialist who won Olympic individual gold in 2012 in London and bronze in Beijing told the BBC that after going public she had been contacted by women from across the world who also had abortions.
After her book Chasing Grace came out, Richards-Ross who also won three Olympic 4x400m relay titles claimed every female athlete she knows has had an abortion, but the issue is “not talked about”.
