Chelsea Handler has revealed she had an abortion at the age of 16, and insists she doesn't regret her decision.

The 36-year-old comedienne said in an interview on The Rosie Show that her parents encouraged her to get an abortion when she unexpectedly fell pregnant as a teenager.

She said: 'I was so delusional. I was like, "I'm ready for a baby." They told me, "You're throwing your entire life away. You're supposed to create a life for yourself.

How does one “fall” pregnant?

That would mean it was something that happened to you, beyond your control....like falling ill.

Only Mary, the mother of Jesus, “fell” pregnant.

I think many of these women who defend their abortions are trying to ease their own consciences. It must be something very painful.

Interesting terminology...

It's the "Queen's English" - the Brits use that phrase a lot in their tabloids.

unexpectedly fell pregnant

Egad... what a way to describe premarital coitus resulting in conception... those Brits have a way with the English language don't they?

[brent13a]

you’d think she’d show a little regret

Besides being a liberal Jew she's always open about being an unabashed pothead as well. This tells me all I need to know.... I.E. whatever guilt she has she buries it under drugs and alcohol and whoring herself out to anyone who'll take it.

Caught it from a toilet seat??

when she unexpectedly fell pregnant as a teenager.

The Spirit of God came upon her????? But there was no room at the Holiday Inn.

You're supposed to create a life for yourself.

So she killed her baby to create a "life" of an alcoholic and a whore who is best known for sleeping with the president of E Networks to get her own show. What a great role model for American girls.

There is so much wrong with this! Her parents didn’t want her to ruin her life? they weren’t going to raise it? way to go parents for being supportive!Every hear of adoption? Maybe they should have been keeping a closer eye on her!

I certainly hope she has made a wonderful life for herself because her son/daughter gave their life for it!

I thumbed through a book from this woman in a book store. What a trashy, doped up, semen repository she is.

Freerepublic is a great site for conservative news, if you can stomach the Jew hating.

So I call her a "liberal jew", which she is in fact a liberal and a she complains about her jewishness all the time, and you deem me antisemitic?

Outstanding bit of insight there. Please go on with your insinuations and complete your labeling of me as I'm curious as to exactly what my views should be because you have such a grasp of them perhaps you can explain me to me.

I guess I should apologize to you personally in case you are a liberal jew yourself, as I apparently failed to realize what a bastion of conservatism the Hollywood Liberal Jew Elite is.

> those Brits have a way with the English language don't they?

Well, it's only fitting, given that obviously some fellow "had his way" with the young Miss Handler...

“She “fell” pregnant? Is that like falling ill or falling in love or what?”

Heck, people always say “I’m going through a divorce”. A very similar case of dissociation.

One goes “through” things they have no control over, like a snowstorm. No, for a divorce, the proper terminology is “I’m in a divorce”.
