Ever heard of contraception, love?
A self-confessed abortion addict has revealed how she had 15 terminations in 17 years in an extraordinary act of rebellion against her controlling husband.
Irene Vilar, 40, claims she was unable to stop herself conceiving children – or from seeking a termination once she realised she was pregnant.
The cycle – which began when she was 16 – and her turbulent marriage drove her to such depths of despair that the pregnancies were interspersed with several attempted suicides.
Now a successful literary agent with two daughters Loretta, five, and Lolita, three, Miss Vilar has turned her experiences into memoir Impossible Motherhood: Testimony Of An Abortion Addict.
