Lily Allen ‘can’t remember’ how many abortions she’s had

Literally none of your business what Lily Allen or any other woman does with their body or fertility.

So are you

Almost nothing anybody writes on MN affects any of the other posters yet you all bother to type responses. It’s like you are all policing the content with your bitchy responses.

She is opening a conversation…. That’s the whole point of a forum.

You are commenting on a post about LA's abortions?

of abortions

In this case it appears to be bitching and judgement of something that doesn't affect her.

Um I’ve got no idea about LA abortions, you’ve got the wrong person for that. I’ve never mentioned them and have no idea what you’re talking about.

What side effects?

How does she not suffer from side effects?

Calling people twats doesn't make your view any more valid than those you disagree with.
Again, how are LA's abortions affecting you?

@Beeloux I'll do the maths for you.

In the UK, about half of women seeking abortions report that their contraception method failed, according to the BPAS. This means that nearly half of women undergoing abortions in the UK were using contraception at the time they became pregnant. Specifically, a study of women having abortions at BPAS clinics found that over half (51.2%) were using some form of contraception.

When that is broken down 17% comes from the pill, 38% condoms, 2% IUD, 1% implant 3% cap/diaphragm, 2% hormone injection, 1% sterilisation/vasectomy, 1% natural family planning, 1% MAP - the remaining ~% declined to answer.

251,377 is the total number of abortions in the UK in 2022 - that means approximately 12,568 women in the UK had an abortion that year whilst on long term birth control. (injection/iud/implant)

It simply isn't that rare and shocking that it could happen to people multiple times

There was a thread about Lilly Allen’s abortion interview in the feminism section of MN last night. It’s still going and no one was remotely pissed off about the OP starting the thread. AIBU is wild. What’s the problem.

OP, there are some twats on this thread. A great topic for discussion, whatever side of the fence you sit in the subject, and some interesting responses. Take a look at the other thread and maybe contribute your thoughts there.

why read the daily mail for your news?

you do you

not my business

If you live your life away from society then you haven’t got a clue what is BS or not. If you live a life that involves others daily as the vast majority of us do, then how society acts / policies put in place /how people in power or of influence who are given public air time act, affects us all.

Direct quote from article talking about her interview:
"Lily Allen says she "can't remember" how many abortions she's had.
On an episode of her podcast "Miss Me?", the British singer, 40, shared that she used to "get pregnant all the time" and noted that she's had several abortions.
Abortions, I've had a few. But then again, I can't remember exactly how many...I think maybe like, I want to say four or five," Allen said as her co-host Miquita Oliver added that she's also had "about five."
As she recalled one of her experiences, Allen said, "I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic."

So, she doesn't REALLY remember how many she had, but she got pregnant "all the time". Sounds like her birth control method was "get an abortion". Sure, her choice, but I can sure judge her on it and find her despicable. She sounds like she is many french fries short a Happy Meal. So surprising.

Ultimately, I would rather any woman have 10 abortions than 10 children she isn't prepared to parent.
To me, that is all there is to it.
