I blanked out the emotions after each of my SEVEN abortions


As new figures reveal the massive increase in multiple abortions, a mother tells of their devastating legacy


By Alison Smith Squire
Last updated at 8:00 AM on 15th July 2008


Among the throng of women who gather outside the school gates each day, Angela Simmons is every inch the archetypal middle-class mother, fussing over her seven-year-old son Ben and ferrying him between after-school clubs and play dates.


Certainly nobody would guess that the 39-year-old former estate agent is one of around 50 women each year in the UK to have notched up her seventh abortion.

Government statistics released this week show that record numbers of women are having two or more abortions  -  and those who do so are not, as might be expected, young teenagers who don't know any better.


>>>

For while she continually insists she does not regret any of her actions, she goes on to describe in agonising detail her lifelong battle with depression, how she once tried to take her own life and how she finds it a daily struggle to overcome a deep and abiding sense of shame.


'Looking back, there was a definitive reason why I had each termination and a valid reason why I felt at the time I could not even have begun to contemplate continuing with each of the pregnancies,' says Angela.


Many, of course, will find such a flimsy justification hard to accept  -  especially seven times over.


Perhaps the most astonishing revelation of all is Angela's insistence: 'I do not really regret any of my abortions.'



Or the admission that she also came close to aborting her son Ben and changed her mind only when her then partner, Patrick, begged her not to go through with it.

Certainly, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that her relationship with Ben's father broke up six years ago amid bitter recrimination over the two abortions she had against Patrick's wishes either side of their son's birth.


And yet sadly, Angela's grim story is not unique. This week's figures released by Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo reveal how many modern women are using abortion, not as a last resort, but almost as a form of contraception.


Statistics show that last year 1,300 women had at least their fifth abortion.


Isn't it amazing how this is seen as "almost a form of contraception?"   ::)

Wonder how Ben will feel when he learns his brothers and sisters were murdered by his mother?  :(

Every selfish abortion should take the mother too.  It's only fair.

Disgusting and disturbing.

In this day of "modern medicine" how anyone would/could choose abortion as a method of birth control is beyond me.

One of my Ex's friends had several abortions (she WAS Catholic, too!!) A number of years later she admitted that regretted every one of them.

She murdered several children and now she regret's it, how thoughtful of her. :mental: :whatever:

I find it increasingly painful to see how far the English have slid into amoralness.  Every abortion story that comes out of there is worse than the one before.  I'm waiting to see English women getting knocked up to pump up their boobs and then aborting once the baby starts to show.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.
