Oh look what popped up in my browser:

Celebrities Who Have Shared Their Abortion Stories to Help Women Feel Less Alone

I guess this story drew my attention:

Ireland Baldwin

Baldwin said, she got pregnant unexpectedly with her boyfriend at the time, whom she was “very unhappy” with, “and he made it pretty clear that he never wanted kids or marriage. He barely wanted to be in a serious relationship.”

“I chose to get an abortion because I know exactly what it felt like to be born between two people who hated each other,” she shared.

Baldwin said “maybe, maybe not” when addressing whether she could have had the baby and put him or her up for adoption, “But choosing to raise a baby without my own financial security, without a loving and supportive partner, that wasn’t gonna work for me.”

What, she didn't have financial security to raise the kid? But couldn't her uncle, Stephen Baldwin, the born-again Christian who is a staunch opponent of abortion, help her out? I mean, how does one get to be fanatically against abortion and yet not even be willing to help his niece with emotional support, babysitting, and baby bills?

I am blissfully unaware of the Baldwin's family dynamics, but I can easily come up with some reasons why Uncle Stephen may have not helped out with the sprog.

I think you also left out a telling bit of her story.  

'I chose me, and I would choose me again. It's your life, it's your choice,' she concluded.
