Abortion Addict Confesses 15 Procedures in 16 Years

Irene Vilar worries that her self-described "abortion addiction" will be misunderstood, twisted by the pro-life movement to deny women the right to choose.

Her book, "Impossible Motherhood," which will be released by Other Press on Oct. 6, chronicles her own dark choices: 15 abortions in 16 years, much of it as a married woman.

As press on the book has begun to leak out, Vilar -- a literary agent and editor --- says she has already sensed "an inkling of hatred."

Vilar has scheduled only closed-door interviews and will not do a book tour. At the urging of her husband, they have made sure all public property records do not reflect her name, so she cannot be targeted at their home.

"I am worried about my safety and the hate mail," she told ABCNews.com in a telephone interview as her home-schooled children were at work on a painting project.

"No book like this has ever been written," she told ABCNews.com. "I just imagine the 'baby killer' and I could be a poster child for that kind of fundamentalism. And there are my little kids in all of that."

Today, at 40, the Latina author has two young children, but her troubled past continues to haunt her well into motherhood.

She grew up in the shadow of her notorious grandmother Puerto Rican nationalist Lolita Lebron, who stormed the Capitol steps with a gun in 1954. Lebron served 25 years in jail for the crime until receiving a pardon from President Carter in 1979.

Her mother committed suicide by throwing herself from a moving car when Vilar was 8 and two of her brothers were heroin addicts.

"At the urging of her husband, they have made sure all public property records do not reflect her name,"

They forgot their AMAZON wish list that states:

"This list is for: Dan and Irene Grandbois
Ship-to: Dan and Irene Grandbois - Boulder, Colorado"

This is what happens in a collapsed culture where sick folks get credence.

[wardaddy]

Whoopi has had many abortions.

[wardaddy]

that having children killed sexual desire.

kinda odd for a man to say....that's more what some women say

my wife having kids one after another shore didn't slow me down hoss.

[icwhatudo]

Her husband, Daniel Grandbois, seems like someone you don't want to have around little kids:

From his book "The Hermaphrodite":

"Disguised as a cactus, the hermaphrodite stole up on us. It poked needles in our asses, then gave Kree a playful wink, as if to say, Watch this.

A sphincter formed in the side of its head, dripping liquid. The hermaphrodite massaged the sphincter until half its forearm was enclosed in the muscle. Squinting, it seemed to search for something. With great care, it retrieved what it had found. A flounder flopped in its palm."

Even if it works for most people most of the time, it is no panacea.

this is not the case for MOST of those who have had abortions...

[latina4dubya]

Most were using contraception incorrectly.

i believe this to be closer to the truth... in addition, i think many women are too embarrassed to say they were having unprotected sex...

[Nahanni]

This woman is a fine example of a “Upper West Side Limousine Liberal”.

I bet ACORN has every one of those children she killed registered to vote, too.

[Neidermeyer]

Didn’t Whoopi Goldberg brag about having ‘x’ number of abortions?
****************************************************
Yes , it was part of her “comedy” routine for years ... she testified before congress during the Clinton admin when funding for abortions was being cut.. she was basically a drug abusing whore for a L.A. gang ... she can’t remember if she had 7 or 8 abortions beginning at age 13 but she is grateful that they cost only $2 apiece thanks to mediCAL.

[Arrowhead1952]

I have to wonder too: what is the story of the father(s)? Did she sleep around like crazy? Had she been a prostitute?

does the nickname Miss Porcupine mean anything to you?

[MockTurtle]

I do not believe her story, I believe she is a fraud.

That is the one question ABC News probably did not ask. 15 abortions does sound a little preposterous.

[GOPsterinMA]

She'd fit in nicely with the commanders of Auschwitz.

[ArrogantBustard]

Daniel Grandbois has a diseased mind.

There’s special place in the after life for animals like her.

"I am worried about my safety and the hate mail,"

She ought to be worried about her soul.

[VRWCmember]

Sick. What are the chances that her two kids will turn out normal?

At least they're homeschooled.

[trisham]

Excellent analysis.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

It took me about 10 seconds to find where she lived - I think her husband claimed to have made sure her name wasn’t linked to their property? Didn’t work

[tanknetter]

This witch is trying to make herself out as the victim of evil pro-lifers before the book is even known. No one forced her to write about her disgusting life. No one ever heard about her vile behavior before this.

That's it, exactly. Martyrdom complex stoked by a healthy amount of narcissism.

She's executing a strategy deliberately designed to provoke outrage and bring all sorts of negative focus/attention down on herself. She wants and craves to be attacked on this matter and the comments in that interview should be seen as goading members of the pro-life movement into coming after her in one fashion or another. I'd even venture that, after that KS abortion doc was killed several months back, she's TRYING to draw out some nutcase who will take a shot at her. Think of a "suicide by cop" scenario that can be blamed on the pro-life movement.

The very best thing that pro-lifers can do here is express sorrow over what is clearly a mental illness, offer to pray for her, but otherwise ignore her, her story and stay far, far away.
