rach 1 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yet another fine example of great modern society. Perhaps it belongs in the important news of the day thread. Quote: A self-confessed abortion addict has revealed how she had 15 terminations in 17 years in an extraordinary act of rebellion against her controlling husband. Irene Vilar, 40, claims she was unable to stop herself conceiving children - or from seeking a termination once she realised she was pregnant. The cycle - which began when she was 16 - and her turbulent marriage drove her to such depths of despair that the pregnancies were interspersed with several attempted suicides. Now a successful literary agent with two daughters Loretta, five, and Lolita, three, Miss Vilar has turned her experiences into memoir Impossible Motherhood: Testimony Of An Abortion Addict. She reveals the procedures were a combination of a misguided quest to distance herself from a tragic family life and her dysfunctional relationship with her first husband - a 50-year-old Latin American literature professor who she met at the age of 16.

spook 0 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 i'm amazed that she kept becoming pregnant after submitting her body to so much trauma... Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Got a feeling that maybe her controlling husband may have had something to do with it. Being latin American - and odds on Catholic - perhaps lent them towards no birth control. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Originally Posted By: spook i'm amazed that she kept becoming pregnant after submitting her body to so much trauma... Agreed. I know lasses who had one (professionally done) termination in their late teens and spent most of their 20's and 30's having fertility treatment to get pregnant as a result! As for this woman - Why is it the people who should least be parents seem to be the most fertile! Link to post Share on other sites
