| Description | Pro-life groups have been appalled and infuriated by a controversial book by Irene Vilar that chronicles her life as a self-professed "abortion addict," having had 15 abortions in 16 years.
Enraged critics have reacted on the Internet with death threats and Vilar says she's received hate mail. One blogger demanded that Vilar be jailed.
In her book "Impossible Motherhood," Vilar said she "unconsciously" forgot to take birth control as an act of rebellion while married to her "controlling" husband, Syracuse University literature professor Pedro Cuperman, who didn't want children.
"Getting pregnant brought a strange feeling: I could bring it on with nobody's permission and I could interrupt it with nobody's permission," explained Vilar recently in a personal essay on Huffington Post. "Of course this did not mean that I wanted to do it again and again -- a druggie also wants to stop every time." |
