A 40-year-old woman who calls herself an "abortion addict," claims she terminated 15 pregnancies in 17 years, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Irene Vilar, who is a series editor of the Americas at Texas Tech University Press, is now the happy mother of two young daughters – but that wasn’t always the case.

When she was 16, Vilar met a man 34 years her senior, whom she would eventually marry.
This event began her roller coaster ride of conceiving and terminating pregnancies over the next 17 years, she explains in her new memoir, "Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict."

How can someone be addicted to something that only happens with 9 month intervals?

Right, but that can still only happen once every 3 or 2 months at least.

Yes, that's why I was puzzled by the "every 9 months" in your post. I don't know how anybody can be addicted to something like that. Addiction usually implies some kind of physical or psychological dependency. I don't see how she can claim to be addicted to something that can only be "fixed" every 2-3 months.
 
The words self described should be replaced with attention seeking...
 
Sickening. The fact that she claims she was "addicted" just makes it worse :sick:
 
Sick fcking bitch, and to make it worse the cow wants to make money from it with a book.
 
Addicted to Abortions

This is just so wrong on so many levels.

I have friends who have gone through hell and back trying to fall pregnant and this woman gets addicted to having abortions - having 15 during a 17 year period - sic:sick:

Abortion Addict's 15 Terminations In 17 Years

A mother who says she was an “abortion addict” has admitted having 15 terminations in 17 years

Irene Vilar said that from the age of 16 to 33 she could not prevent herself from getting pregnant – and then getting a termination.

The literary agent, now a 40-year-old mother-of-two, said: "Of course, this did not mean I wanted to do it again and again. A druggie also wants to stop every time."

For much of that period she was in a difficult marriage with an older man who did not want children with her, she said.

She would “forget” to take her birth control pills, get pregnant, panic that she would lose her husband and arrange an abortion.

Her past is explored in her memoir Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict, which has provoked an outcry from many anti-abortion campaigners.

Ms Vilar told the LA Times, “the majority of pro-choicers - and I don't blame them - are somewhat confused.”

She writes in the book: "My story is a perversion of both maternal desire and abortion, framed by a lawful procedure that I abused.

"A moment came when not being pregnant was enough motivation for wanting to be pregnant. Getting pregnant began to be simply a habit."

But she believes the availability of abortion saved her life as she would have found a way to end her pregnancies, legal or not.

She is now raising two daughters, aged three and five years old, and two teenage stepchildren with her second husband, whom she met in 2003.

To verify her story, Ms Vilar produced medical records and her book was fact-checked and vetted by lawyers, according to her publishers.
