Aussy TV Star Kills Self After Depression Triggered by Her Abortion; US Media Ignores Abortion
http://newsbusters.org ^ | February 23, 2014 | Jill Stanek

Abortion proponents push for easy access to abortion, deemphasizing its after-affects to the point they absolutely refuse to acknowledge post-abortion depression, which further incapacitates those actually living through it.

This is such a tragedy. Charlotte Dawson, RIP, was born in New Zealand but achieved fame in Australia as a model and a judge on Australia’s Next Top Model.

From The Telegraph, February 23:

In the end it seemed like the final, inevitable episode of a tragic soap opera: Charlotte Dawson -- the model, TV star and social crusader who spent many of her adult years battling depression -- ended her life at the age of 47.

It is understood Dawson was found hanged in her luxury Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf apartment by a security guard on Saturday morning, the day after the birthday of her ex-husband and the man she still described as the love of her life – disgraced Olympic swimmer Scott Miller….

But friends believe she had never really gotten over her marriage to Miller, which ended in divorce after only a year. In her tell-all autobiography Air Kiss And Tell, she revealed she had an abortion because the pregnancy would interfere with Miller’s preparation for the 2000 Olympics – and blamed that for the start of her long battle with depression.

I think it should stay up. It’s an important topic, and everybody doesn’t get to see every posting before they disappear.

I won't dispute that abortion often leads to depression. It happened to a friend of mine. However, I can't help wondering if there's more to this than simply an abortion. How did a pregnancy interfere with her husband's Olympic entry? Did he fail to support her when she needed it? I feel sorry for her and for her aborted child.

The preceding sentence made this obvious, why does this one start with a "but"??

They killed their baby because it was not convenient. Did they split up AFTERWARDS? did they realize what they had done? That everything they thought about this was a lie? Did she lose the love of her life BECAUSE of this?

Baby inconvenient , hubby suspended from his sport for drugs at about the same time , her reason for abortion was to not interfere with his training , he failed to make the 2000 team (after medalling in prior olympics) , divorced , he later was arrested for manufacturing drugs.

All in all pretty much Hollyweird Aussie style.

I would not have known about it if this thread had not been posted.

And if you are trying to get someone else’s thread pulled off the site, the least you could do is post the URL of the earlier thread.

I see that it was your thread, I was mistaken.
At least post the URL of the other thread. It didn’t come up in a search.

He was the SOB that made her do it. Then he dumped her. He should be rotting in the pits of hell.

This is one of the most wacked out selfish reasons I have ever seen for abortion. My take is this was part of the reason, she is out making excuses for doing the deed and she latched onto this.
