Hadley Duvall (born March 28, 2002) is an American activist who advocates for reproductive freedom and abortion rights.
Duvall was born in Henderson, Kentucky, and grew up in Owensboro.[1][2] Her stepfather impregnated her when she was 12 after several years of rape and abuse.[3] She miscarried and kept the pregnancy secret for a decade until the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which prompted her to post about her experience on Facebook.[4][3]
In 2024, Duvall graduated from Midway University with a degree in psychology with a focus on alcohol and drug counseling.[5]
Duvall was featured in an ad for Andy Beshear's 2023 gubernatorial reelection campaign that went viral and was widely credited by Republican leaders for helping Beshear win.[3][6]
Duvall also spoke of her experience onstage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.[4] In her speech, she cited Donald Trump's remarks calling abortion bans "a beautiful thing" and asked, "What is so beautiful about a child having to carry her parent's child?"[7][4] Duvall later appeared in an ad for Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.[8]
