It all started on Monday when Biles posted an Instagram Story, asking fans to reveal their most “unpopular opinions.” One anonymous fan wrote, “abortion is wrong.” Biles replied, “I already know this is going to start the biggest argument [and] may even lose followers, BUT,” wrote the athlete. “I’m very much pro-choice.” She added, “Your body. Your choice.” She then noted that as an alternative to abortions, putting up babies for adoption is an option for some, but can be a challenge. “It’s not that easy [and] coming from someone who was in the foster care system TRUST me,” she wrote. “Foster care system is broken [and] it’s TOUGH. Especially on the kids [and] young adults who age out.” Lastly, she added that “adoption is expensive.”

The conversation switched to Twitter as some took an issue with her stance. In a since-deleted tweet, one person said, “Thoughts with all the kids in the foster care system today being told by @Simone_Biles that their lives are worth nothing and are better off dead.” Biles quickly hit back at the Twitter user and said, “DO NOT misconstrue my words,” she replied. “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. What I did imply is that you should not control someone [else’s] body/decision. Let’s be real what you care about is control… ”

“I have forever [and] 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,” she added.

“Also if you have a fake account don’t even talk to me. Y’all piss me off to no end,” read her final tweet on the matter. “I’m done because you’ll twist my words however it feels fitting to spew hate. Also if anyone is seeing this just know I support you doing whatever feels fitting for YOU.”

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. What I did imply is that you should not control someone elses body/decision. Let’s be real what you care about is control… https://t.co/IWVz0ydpXi
