I cried at the thought of aborting my first born and everyone was so concerned about me… I’m concerned for the world that feels you shouldn’t cry about this subject.

Kanye West responded to criticism over his breaking down recounting that he he and his wife, Kim Kardashian West, almost aborted the couple’s daughter.
West, speaking to a crowd in Charleston, South Carolina, broke down while talking about the subject.
“[Kim] was crying… and for one month and two months and three months, we talked about her not having this child,” said West. “She had the pills in her hand.”
Many on social media speculated that West was not healthy mentally. He is currently running for President of the United States.
If he can’t manage his bipolar disorder then he should not be running for office. This will harm his mental health

West responded with his own perspective and has seen a lot of support.

I said this when it happened. Y’all think a man is crazy for being broken over something like almost murder, when it’s actually CRAZY to not be broken over this. https://t.co/tYVYHFMgL6

I’m concerned about this, too, @kanyewest.
The world should cry at the realization that we are killing almost 1M children a year in our country alone… not to mention the millions more worldwide.
Keep speaking. Your courage will empower others to reject abortion.
