Irene Vilar worries that her self-described "abortion addiction" will be misunderstood, twisted by the pro-life movement to deny women the right to choose.

Latina author Irene Vilar's new book, "Impossible Motherhood," explores her dark past: 15 abortions in 16 years. Pro-choice, she hopes her shocking story will spark a national discussion on abortion, one that won't compromise a woman's right to reproductive freedom.
As press on the book has begun to leak out, Vilar -- a literary agent and editor --- says she has already sensed "an inkling of hatred."

She, without question, has mental health problems. I would actually fear for her daughters (who will be teens) when she hits menopause. There is a defining ‘its all about me’ about this woman...and I can imagine resentfulness/hatred of her very daughters as they become independent woman and this woman is in her fifties. Mom, here, is a total and complete mess.
I question to 15 abortions? 15? I agree...with your assessment she she is an anonomly, because I can’t imagine how she could possibly get pregnant again that easily after both the physical trauma and hormonal upheaval of each abortion. Something doesn’t seem quite right about the story (to me).
There’s a special place in hell for scum like this.
Stone her.
Somebody had SEX with WHOOPI? YUUUUUWWWW!!
Will always wonder what their siblings would have been like. They may even have "survivor's guilt". What a living hell to put your precious children through.
She’s like the Octomom in reverse....will she be getting her own reality tv program soon?
They can call the show ‘Roto Rotor Woman.’
Sick
I’ve heard of addiction to plastic surgery....I smell a rat here..I mean a pack of lies for the purpose of sensationalism.
It reads like she blames everyone else for her own problems — the PR government, her mom, her first husband, cultural pressures — and overlooks her own lack of a moral compass.
It’s too bad her addiction wasn’t to getting her tubes tied.
This woman is batsh*t crazy.
LQ
I agree.
The inevitable result of abortion-on-demand policies is the resort to abortion as first-line birth control. At that point, it becomes more and more common for more and more women to have multiple abortions.
See the USSR / Russia.
At first it’s like, wow, she’s a freak show! But then over time using abortion serially becomes just another “choice” on the continuum.
Not only did Ted Danson have sex with Whoopi but Mary Steenbergen married him afterward.
Whew.
Obviously you’ve never learned that “the pill” is an abortifacient.
and then there are potentially loving mothers who couldn’t conceive of ONE no matter how hard they tried.
I think she has blood lust. Unquenchable blood lust.
