On Tuesday, Morgan’s wife, actress Hilarie Burton, shared a powerful statement recalling her own abortion after pregnancy loss.
“Having an abortion after my fetus died allowed for my uterus to heal in a way that made it healthy enough to carry future pregnancies,” explained Burton, 39. “It doesn’t matter if you use the term D&C. The official word on the hospital paperwork is abortion. That’s what it was.”
While Burton has received support from many of her fans who have also suffered pregnancy losses, there are still many people who post hateful comments on social media, and comments on her Instagram post have been turned off.
Morgan’s followers shared their support in the comments section, where there is a resounding “thank you” from women and other people who support reproductive rights. Multiple users commented “You tell ’em!” and “I love you Jeff!”
