Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleActress-comedian, Margaret Cho is opening up about her pregnancies and abortions after high-profile men have gotten her pregnant. After performing in several shows at a club adjacent to her parents' bookstore, Margaret launched her stand-up comedy career, from which she eventually transitioned into acting, writing and authorship. Margaret's career spans three decades, and over the years, she has established a special place in the hearts of her fans.
Cho had been married only once in her life, and it was an open relationship. The marriage ended in divorce, and recently, Margaret has opened up about her early pregnancies and abortions. Margaret Cho sat for an interview on Dinky Podcast and explained why she is glad that she doesn't have kids.
Speaking on the same podcast, Cho stated that being pregnant is a weird sensation and an unpleasant feeling for her. She added that the few times she was pregnant, she found the experiences unpleasant, and said that she doesn't like it.
According to the comedian, she doesn't bring a life into something that is already damaged. Having said that, the state of the world didn't influence her decision when she opted for abortions, because back then, she simply didn't want to carry on with her pregnancy. Speaking about her unpleasant feelings, Margaret Cho said:
"I have gotten pregnant a few times and every time I’m like, ‘No no no, I don’t want this.’ And physically, being pregnant is so unpleasant to me. It’s such a weird sensation. I really don’t like it. Even for the very brief times that I was pregnant, it was so unpleasant."
Getting an abortion was an instantaneous decision for Margaret Cho, except for the last one. Her last pregnancy was 10 years ago when she suffered a miscarriage and needed a D&C procedure. During her last pregnancy, Maraget thought that she should give it a try and that it could possibly be her last chance.
However, she miscarried. In the same interview, the actress-comedian also talked about being pregnant by famous men in the entertainment world. According to the actress, the men who had gotten her pregnant were 'accomplished, super handsome men in entertainment'. Sharing more about the same, Margaret Cho said:
"The other people that I’ve gotten pregnant by would’ve [fathered] formidable nepo babies now. I’m not gonna say who they were but they were both really accomplished, super handsome men in entertainment."
Cho has been very transparent over the years about her abortions, and she advocates for bodily autonomy on social media, and also talks about the same topic in her stand-up comedy shows. According to Fortune, Margaret Cho once mentioned that whenever she talks about abortions, people get freaked out, as if she's talking about a political topic. The actress said that she just speaks about her experience and what actually happened. She doesn't care about others' views on abortion; however, she feels that women should be talking about the same.
Margaret Cho was married to artist Al Ridenour. The couple got married in 2003, and were together for 11 years before parting ways. The actress filed for divorce in 2014, citing irreconcilable differences, and it was granted later. During their marriage, the couple discussed having an open relationship. During one of her interviews, Cho spoke about her marriage and its openness. She said:
"I'm married to a man but I'm bisexual so I like both. We got together because ... we both have this [idea], 'I just don't want to have sex with the same person my whole life. That's just gross.'"
