""A 40-year-old woman who calls herself an "abortion addict," claims she terminated 15 pregnancies in 17 years, The Los Angeles Times reported."" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,565444,00.html I thought this would make a good discussion. What do you think of this woman?

I agree. If you're going to have this many abortions it's better to just get fixed. I know some people are against birth control for religious purposes but this woman didn't sound like she was Catholic or anything, lol.

Oh how disgusting.Can this really be true? Abortion is her form of birth control and she has killed 15 fetuses. What a sin! I'm not against abortion when its only one and especially if she is a teenager. But this woman started to do this at the age of 23 and continued for 17 more years killing all of these children to be. She will get hers one day.

I can't believe after all those abortions she was still able to conceive. Plus why tell her story? I don't get it. Its nothing I would be telling anyone about. I would feel so ashamed.

Yes exactly, if you are in a good sanity, you will just hide and keep that to yourself. I will not brag about that anymore!! Doing it once is such a shameful act much on her case. Where is her heart?

Sick. Now there is a good candidate for sterilization if ever I saw one!

I agree. I really don't understand why she just didn't go on the pill or another form of birth control.

She desperately needs to check into a mental hospital. Or a family planning clinic....

The woman really needs a fix in the head and probably a new womb. She killed 15 human beings and proud of it! I am sure this is an extreme case, but really, if this kind of behaviour is allowed, it could well be a precedence for more of this in the future

She should have had her tubes tied and let that be that. I don't understand why she kept getting abortions if she didn't want children.

We live in a selfish society. "It's my body so it's my choice" That's the line we hear. The problem is that's not her life that's being destroyed. Abortion as a form of birth control. That's nothing to be proud of. This woman makes me sick. Abortion kills. If it wasn't alive, it couldn't grow. What this woman has done is horrible. The fact that she brags about it makes it even worse. I will never understand the need to kill an unborn child. So many wasted opportunities. God help her.

Wow. In ways, I do feel sorry for this woman as she was taken advantage of at such a young age. She was really pretty much a child herself. Still, I have to conclude that she was and is quite emotionally disturbed which may be why she was so vulnerable to a man so much older than herself. I am pro-choice because I know from experience that even with precautions, pregnancy can happen. I have never had an abortion but I would never judge a woman that has. I do know what it feels like to be in a bad spot in life and find yourself pregnant. It is an agonizing choice. In the end I chose to keep my child and I am very grateful that it was a choice and I was able to make the choice that was right for me. This woman is an exception. I think there should be limits on the number of abortions a woman can have to put a stop to the women who use abortion as a form of birthcontrol. I really think those women are a minority. This woman needs help. She was deliberatly getting pregnant to manipulate her husband and then getting an abortion over and over and over. Now she has 2 children?? That is scary in itself. Most women placed in the position of making such a decision agonize and are tormented with the choice. If they choose abortion, it is painful and maybe the best choice for them at the time but it is not done without feeling. This woman seems to have no heart. I would have to wonder what kind of a mother she turned out to be. In the picture she looks so happy and without remorse. Her words don't sound remorseful either. Sounds as if she blames her husband and makes excuses but does not feel any emotion about those many terminated pregnancys. sounds unnatural.

The link no longer works. But I will say if this is indeed true, she needs to find some other way to prevent pregnancy. I don't know who in the heck would go thru that many and willingly! Like others have said if she was a teenager & had her one time "mistake" or there was something wrong with the baby then fine. However, that is above and beyond the rationalization why anyone could go beyond one. If she doesn't want to carry these babies she needs to get her tubes tied it would be alot less stress on her body & would be a one time thing!

Fifteen abortion in 17 years...that is a lot and I was able to read the article. There's some underlying reason why she did it because she was in position where she was afraid to lose her husband who doesn't want a child. I tried to understand her reasoning but no matter how I tried I still don't get it. The good thing is that now she already had two daughters and that means she is not that totally bad at all. My pain goes for the fifteen angels who already are in heavens...they don't deserved to die yet they already are. This is really a horrible news.

Ouch! I feel really sorry for that lady, if it is a true story. I wonder what her own story is; what would make a woman do that to her onw body, and to all those lives that were growing inside her? What an awful story hers must be. I can't get mad at people like her, I just feel real sad. I wish there had been someone in her life who reached out to her with love and compassion, and showed her that there is hope in this life. There is reason for joy and there is freedom. If the story is true, then she is obviously very disturbed and needs help. May God help her.

Saw this news I really couldn't imagine, I don't agree with her.How to say that is also called on 15 small life, so she was cruel to kill the guilt,besides that,ofr her own body also is bad, is really crazy.

Hi BlueGoblin, I really don't believe this, but how she might have done this? First thing is that it is a sin killing the foetus and she is spoiling her own health. I don't have any good opinion about this woman. There might be some reason behind, whatever may be the reason I don't think it would be a good reason.

Yeah she needs her head examined all right, These children that she has now must feel lucky or something. How on earth can you explain this behavior to your children about their almost siblings? One man was worth the lives of of these victims. What kind of man was he? No responsibility for his actions since she did not engage in these activities alone. He is as bad as she is in this whole mess. Wow She writes a book about it too wonder if she had high sales because of her story? How can she smile over this? Sick to me! They all need something, this is not normal behavior and they need to be taught responsibility for their actions. Vasectomy or something. Some type of sterilization. Its reversible for the most, if not adoption.

Ew I really think this is sick. I do not agree with this being any type of birth control at all.

I have read about ladies that have had one abortion. Some of them regret having it and others of them feel it was the right choice for them. It wasn't the right choice for the innocent little baby. The clock can't be turned back. I think of aborted babies as the missing people of the world. No form of birth control is 100% effective. I am pro-life and wouldn't ever have an abortion. I think very lowly indeed of the 'abortion addict'. I think was mean to abort fifteen innocent little babies. She made the same mistake time and time again. Usually if a lady has an abortion she does her best not to be another unwanted pregnancy again. The lady you have described is a very bad person.

Oh my! I can't believe this. I think the word pain means nothing to her. Isn't she scared about her health at all and what it could do to her?

its her body. her choice. no one else business really. abortions are quite safe, if done medically, certainly safter than 15 pregnancies.

OMG thats horrible how could anyone do that its sick, i dont really beleive in abortion to start with but to have 15 is just wrong, so in a way shes killed 15 of her children, she should be forced to stop getting pregnant by a tube tie or something.

I don't care how hard your life has been or what the reasons were for needing to abort - this woman in my eyes is a selfish murdering cow! I don't support abortion as the best solution myself, but I think pro life and pro choice people alike would agree that, even if they don't see it as 'killing' babies, it is at the very least irresponsible and stupid. What must she be doing to her mind and body, even if she is not aware of it? Someone said they were glad she had two children, which is interesting - I don't actually think she should be allowed near a child for the rest of her life!

'She is not human being'. What made her so strong to do this. This is very strange.
