Author Irene Vilar Explores Her 'Impossible Motherhood'....
Abortion Addict Confesses 15 Procedures in 16 Years
Repeat Abortions Baffle Experts, as Author Irene Vilar Explores Her 'Impossible Motherhood'

By SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES
Sept. 21, 2009

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.

****Note****

Sincere apologies for not utilizing the title of the actual article, in my subject line. I found the article title rather sensationalistic (and more than a little offensive). I don't care if the author describes herself in such a way, I refuse to.
