Simone Biles Defends
Pro-Choice Stance:, 'You Should
Not Control
Someone
Elses Body'.
On Tuesday, two-time Olympian Simone Biles took
to Twitter to defend her stance on abortion.
Biles originally posted about her “very much
pro-choice” stance on Instagram on Monday night.
I already know this is going to start the
biggest argument & may even lose followers
BUT I'm very much pro-choice, Simone Biles, via ‘USA Today’.
At the time, Biles also rebutted people
who suggested “just [putting] it up for adoption,”
calling the foster care system “tough.”.
Also for everyone gonna say 'just put it up
for adoption' it's not that easy & coming
from someone who was in the foster care
system TRUST me foster care system is
broken & it's TOUGH especially on the kids
& young adults who age out & adoption
is expensive ... im just saying, Simone Biles, via ‘USA Today’.
Biles received backlash for
her comment about the foster
care system on Twitter, to
which she said her statement
was “misconstru[ed].”.
DO NOT misconstrue my words. That is
not at all what I implied. I did NOT say
I support to abort rather than to put them
through the foster care system. , Simone Biles, via Twitter.
What I did imply is that you should
not control someone elses body/decision, Simone Biles, via Twitter.
She continued, saying she would
always be an “advocate” for foster kids. .
I have forever & will continue to support
foster kids. AS I WAS ONE. I’ve been an
advocate for foster kids and the system but
you wouldn’t know that because you don’t
follow me, you just like to open your mouth, Simone Biles, via Twitter
