British pop star Lily Allen made quite possibly the most disgusting comment I have ever heard a person say about having an abortion when she joked she's had so many she couldn't keep count.
I'm sorry, the word abortion is horrible. But to joke that one's had so many they lost count? That's another level of sick, but I digress.
The comments came this week during the 40-year-old actress/singer's latest "Miss Me?" podcast while she and her cohost Miquita Oliver were discussing the topic of contraception. (3:27 minute mark).
Allen seemed to think it was funny that before she started using an IUD for birth control, aborting babies was her method of preventing having a child because, as she joked, she "got pregnant all the time."
"I have an IUD now. I think I'm on my third, maybe fourth, and I just remember, before, that was a complete disaster area," Allen explained. "I was just – yeah, I'd get pregnant all the time."
"All the time," she added in a silly voice, and her cohost thought the response was very entertaining and started laughing.
Set to the tune of Frank Sinatra's song "My Way," Allen then began singing, "Abortions. I've had a few, but then again, I can't remember exactly how many."
"I can't remember, I think maybe – I wanna say five," she added, as she talked about the number of abortions she's had. "Four or five?"
Oliver was thrilled with the confession about the number of babies her cohost had aborted, responding that she also had had about the same number and was pleased they could just share that, and "no one came to shoot us down."
"No judgment," Allen replied before recalling a time one man offered to pay for one of her abortions.
"I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion and me thinking it was romantic," she added before busting up laughing, revealing that afterward, she never heard from that man again.
Honestly, I am not sure why I am shocked to hear this. This is the same star who made headlines in 2022 when she claimed that women don't need to justify having an abortion when she slammed the United States Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which ultimately ended up overturning Roe v. Wade, Yahoo.com noted.
"I wish people would stop posting examples of exceptional reasons for having abortions. Most people I know, myself included, just didn't want to have a [..] baby. And that is reason enough! We don't have to justify it," the since-deleted post read.
"It shouldn't have to be said, and I think all these examples just play into the hands of the baddies," she added at the time.
Allen is a mother of two daughters, a 13-year-old and a 12-year-old, whom she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper, the outlet noted.
There is no daylight between Allen and the rest of the pro-abortion crowd, ie, the Democrat Party. This is the party that went from saying abortions should be "rare,” “safe,” and “legal,” to celebrating them by falsely claiming it's about “reproductive freedom.”
As a young woman, I never really bought into the "clump of cells" or "fetus" language. I never marched or spoke out about the right to an abortion; on the other hand, I never participated in any pro-life events either.
However, after the first time I heard the galloping heartbeat of my oldest child at 6 weeks in the womb, it was crystal clear to me that this is a life, a person, plain and simple.
