Singer regrets her abortion

On the May 9 episode of the VH1 reality show, What Chilli Wants, TLC hip hop girl group member Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas opened up about her abortion. She described aborting at age 20, about 1991, for sadly common reasons, because she "didn't have the support" and "was so scared." This was also at the beginning of her musical career, she said, and she didn't know how she could do both it and motherhood. The abortion turned out to be "one of the biggest mistakes," because she "didn't want to do that. . . . It messed me up . . . it broke my spirit." Chilli felt she lost her "strong self," and that she "gave in, broke to what someone else wanted." Obviously, she felt pressured to abort. She began to break down, to cry "because I wasn't a mommy" - almost every day for almost 9 years. Jill Stanek blog
