As new figures reveal the massive increase in multiple abortions, a mother tells of their devastating legacy
Among the throng of women who gather outside the school gates each day, Angela Simmons is every inch the archetypal middle-class mother, fussing over her seven-year-old son Ben and ferrying him between after-school clubs and play dates.
Certainly nobody would guess that the 39-year-old former estate agent is one of around 50 women each year in the UK to have notched up her seventh abortion.
Government statistics released this week show that record numbers of women are having two or more abortions - and those who do so are not, as might be expected, young teenagers who don't know any better.
Emotional toll: Angela Simmons with son Ben
Angela is typical of them. As a cautionary tale about abortion, her story reveals a great deal about the emotional legacy of a termination - and especially of multiple abortions.
For while she continually insists she does not regret any of her actions, she goes on to describe in agonising detail her lifelong battle with depression, how she once tried to take her own life and how she finds it a daily struggle to overcome a deep and abiding sense of shame.
'Looking back, there was a definitive reason why I had each termination and a valid reason why I felt at the time I could not even have begun to contemplate continuing with each of the pregnancies,' says Angela.
Many, of course, will find such a flimsy justification hard to accept - especially seven times over.
Perhaps the most astonishing revelation of all is Angela's insistence: 'I do not really regret any of my abortions.'

She better have a good lawyer when she stands before her maker.
Angela ought to get a clue!
Poor Ben. All of his siblings were murdered by his selfish mother. He is very lucky to be alive.
The U.K. will be a Muslim nation soon, thanks the likes of this idiot.
A classic example of how liberalism & feminism have screwed up the psyches of much of the population in Western nations.
Ben's going to miss his siblings as he grows older with this psycho mother.
Whoopi Goldberg has blacked it out so many times that she can’t even remember if it was 6 or 7 times and yet she contends that each was a very difficult decision. All 7 of them.
I used to correspond with several Obstetricians in Russia. They told me of numerous fairly young women who had undergone multiple abortions. The availability of other methods of contraception was very limited, and since the physicians were employed by the government, their labor was inexpensive.
True, I feel sorry for Ben , but here’s a question. How , if she knew the end result , did she let herself get pregnant 7 times? If you don’t intend to have the child how do you explain allowing yourself to get pregnant even once, much less over & over. ???
She’s a serial killer.
She has my prayers for the Lord’s mercy.
Shut your legs, bitch.
Poisoning the culture.
Thanks for posting it.
Has this ditz ever heard of tube tying, birth control or just plain old not screwing everyone in sight??? Ben has a real class act for a mom. I pity him. Not his deranged mother.
