“Hollywood #MeToo pioneer Alyssa Milano: I aborted two of my children, and I’m ‘not sorry’”

It’s too bad this article wasn’t written by her mother and read “I aborted all my children and I’m not sorry”.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I'm reading a bio of a poet I admire, Denise Levertov. She got pregnant by a man she loved and wanted to marry, but he wanted neither the baby nor marriage. She aborted the baby four months into the pregnancy (which usually indicates delay and ambivalence) in 1947 at the age of 24.

Hard to tell how much she might of thought about it over the years, but she went through most of her adult life agnostic and "pro-choice," even writing and publishing an essay defending her abortion some 27 years later, at about age 51. (Which means she was still thinking about it.)

I'm reading her lifetime of poems, with interest. I think she thought through this thing over and over, over and over again, and that maybe explains her recurring sadness, themes of loneliness and lack of abilityto commit to God, spiritually, and maybe the lack of sexual satisfaction between her and her husband. Finally, somehow, weighing her whole life in retrospect, Levertov got to a point where she realized she actually couldn't justify the abortion.

Repented killing her baby. Was received into the Catholic Church in 1990, at age 67.

Died in 1998, age 74.

I sue am glad she got that settled between her and God, before she died.

I say there's always hope.

My very first thought. God created each of them on purpose for His Purpose. They were never really hers anyway. She murdered someone else's babies . . God's.

there’s a place for those who kill kids and don’t repent. Enjoy it, Alyssa!
