Kanye West opens up about Kim Kardashian’s ‘scary’ abortion dilemma over North

Kanye West has returned to the subject that almost brought an end to his marriage to Kim Kardashian by speaking about how she almost aborted their daughter, North West.

The 43-year-old rapper opened up to Nick Cannon on his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class,’ and reflected that seven-year-old North “might have never made it here” if Kim had decided to go through with an abortion procedure.

Kanye shocked his fans when he spoke emotionally about the moment that Kim had the ‘pills’ in her hand, at his only presidential rally in South Carolina.

It caused a huge amount of upset in the Kardashian family and Kim denied that there was ever any decision to be made.

Kanye has now gone deeper into the moment and spoken about the ‘scary’ dilemma the 39-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star faced at the time.

He said: “For anyone who wants to tear me down for crying, you realise that because of South Carolina, there are people who have decided to have a child? Because they connected.

“And if they were on the fence about it, they never saw anyone in my position take that position and say, ‘Look at this. This is a seven-year-old right here. And she might have never made it here.”

Kanye admitted that he had to make some peace with certain members of the family after he claimed that his own father wanted him terminated and that he wouldn’t have been here if it wasn’t for the will of his mother.

The rapper continued: “So when I talk to my father, my father made me apologise to him for bringing this up publicly.

“He also said that the abortion culture teaches people that a child isn’t a real soul.

“And it was my wife that said, ‘This is a soul.’ And the scariest thing is, she had the pills – you know, you take these pills, you take them and the next morning the baby’s gone – she had the pills in her hand.”

It has been reported that the ‘pills’ Kanye was talking about are for a medication abortion.

Planned Parenthood’s website describes them as “a safe and effective way to end an early pregnancy.”

The pills are reportedly a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol but they are not available in every state, so it is very much down to state laws as to whether you can have them or not.

Kanye said that focusing on his children recently has given him a new philosophy for tackling what he is doing.

He said: “It’s like, family is just the key to the world, period, from our immediate family to our friends and family, our co-workers and family, our city and family, our state and family, our country and family, our world…

“The culture of humanity needs to be family. “A culture of family.”
