London, England (LifeNews.com) -- When it comes to Hollywood, abortion isn't just a topic that comes up frequently in movies or music, it's something celebrities routinely confront. News reports on Monday indicate abortion was a topic of conversation between famous Beatles musician John Lennon and his infamous wife Yoko Ono.
In an interview with the BBC, Ono recounts a story about how she considered having an abortion when pregnant with the couple's son Sean. Lennon apparently talked her out of having an abortion.
The conversation came after Ono became pregnant when the couple reunited in the early 70s after an 18-month split.
"We'd just got back together and I became pregnant very soon, and I didn't know if it was the right moment to have a child because maybe he didn't want it," Ono recalled. "I didn't want to burden him with something he didn't want."
She told the BBC, "He said, 'Of course we are going to keep it', and he was really upset with my remark."
"I know it sounds strange now but I thought, well, I should let John decide whether to keep it or not," Ono said.
Lennon and Ono married in 1969 and Sean was born in 1975 -- resulting in Lennon taking a five year break from music to focus on raising his son.
Ono told the British news service that Sean was on Lennon's mind the night crazed fan Mark Chapman killed him in New York. She said the couple was dining and Lennon expressed a desire to see his son before he went to sleep.
Just think how Sean feels knowing that his mother almost prevented him from being born.
I’m sure her son is just thrilled to discover mommy wanted to have him hacked to pieces!
I saw this on the news. It turns my stomach that she still refers to Sean as ‘it’ in the conversation about the possible abortion. I get that before he was born those two might refer to the baby as ‘it’ but she knows the baby was a boy now. It just seems really insensitive or too PC for me.
To loopy liberals like Ono, the only children that should be born are WANTED CHILDREN. He did, she wasn’t sure. I wonder how Sean feels about his mom now.
NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!@!!
(insert sound of shrieking Ono here)
“I know it sounds strange now but I thought, well, I should let John decide whether to keep it or not,” Ono said.
Not John’s body, but John’s choice?
Interesting...wouldn’t want to be her son.
She was an oxygen thief then, and an oxygen thief now.
Well how about a little euthanasia for YoKo. Dr. Kervorkian is out of jail, I believe.
My regard for John just went up a couple notches after reading this.
Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He’s on the run and your daddy’s here,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
.....
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean.
This comes as no surprise. After all she did kill the Beatles.
the libs must be pissed because she wanted to let the father decide whether to abort.
I always thought it was a womans choice?? /sarcasm
Yah, the “it” reference really bothered me as I was reading this, too. Classless.
But I still don't like their music.
Her choice was to let someone else decide.
Body! I’m not an animal
