"Abortion Addict" Writes Memoir

Original Article
Irene Vilar makes no bones about it. She was an "abortion addict."

During a 17-year period -- beginning when she was 16 and ending at age 33 -- she terminated 15 pregnancies. In a newly published memoir, "Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict," Vilar describes how she got caught up in a vicious cycle.

"Of course, this did not mean I wanted to do it again and again," she told the Los Angeles Times. "A druggie also wants to stop every time."

When she met her first husband, she was a 16-year-old student and he was a 50-year-old professor at Syracuse University. He liked very young women and he said having children killed sexual desire.

Vilar said she rebelled by "forgetting" to take her birth control pills. After becoming pregnant, she would panic, thinking her husband would leave her. She would have an abortion and feel relief -- but before long, she would do it all over again.

Would it really be possible to get addicted to something like this, or is this some sort of pathetic attempt to make money off of something heinous (ala Octomom)? You can be sure that Pro-Life activists will be taking advantage of this.

    People get addicted to World of Warcraft and internet porn and marijuana and hoarding glass miniatures. Statistically, it's inevitable that someone somewhere will have an addiction that's goddamn weird.

    Yes. You can be addicted to getting abortions, you can be addicted to giving birth, you can be addicted to sucking dicks. People get addicted to strange things in these worlds.

    It's entirely possible if unlikely. Either one.

    Those things are usually associated with a pleasant stimulus. I don't think many people enjoy having an abortion.

    Although masochists enjoy pain...OH GOD TERRIBLE MENTAL IMAGE.

    There are people who enjoy being stepped on with high heeled shoes repeatedly.

    THE REAL MESSAGE OF THE SITUATION: Some people like some seriously fucked up shit.

    MY PREDICTION OF THE GOPS READING OF THE MESSAGE: ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS ANYTHING OTHER THAN OUTLAWING ABORTIONS AND ISLAM IS A METH ADDICT BUT WITH MURDER OF BABIES
