Bill Bradley, a former three-term New Jersey senator and presidential candidate, has opened up about his personal experience with abortion, both in a new documentary about his life and while speaking to Political Theater Friday.
In his new film “Rolling Along,” Bradley, who sought the presidential nomination in 2000, describes how, in the 1960s while playing for the New York Knicks, a woman he was dating became pregnant unintentionally. The woman, he said, opted to have an abortion – which was illegal and difficult to find at the time.
“Unbeknownst to me as I was frantically trying to find somebody who could help, she flew from her home in LA to Kansas City, where she apparently found somebody who knew how to do the procedure,” he said in the film.
