LifeNews.com writes that Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler regretted his girlfriend’s abortion. LifeNews.com reports:
Long before he won accolades as an American Idol judge, Steven Tyler was a bona-fide rock star, with all that that implied. In 1975, when he was in his late 20s and the lead singer for the band Aerosmith, Tyler persuaded the parents of his 14-year-old girlfriend, Julia Holcomb, to make him her legal guardian so that they could live together in Boston.
When Miss Holcomb and Tyler conceived a child, his longtime friend Ray Tabano convinced Tyler that abortion was the only solution. In the Aerosmith “autobiography,” Walk This Way (in which recollections by all the band members, and their friends and lovers, were assembled by the author Stephen Davis), Tabano says: “So they had the abortion, and it really messed Steven up because it was a boy. He … saw the whole thing and it [messed] him up big time.”

I think he has 2 girls…

so he was in his 20's, having sex with a 14 year old girl. That's statuatory rape.
And I'm sure saying "Jesus" wasn't said in the devotional sense but in the casual, taking-the-lord's-name-in-vain sense. So regretting the abortion of a girl you raped is good, I guess, but I doubt he rejects all the whoring around he's done over the years, along with the song he wrote for that "Armageddon" movie, which is perhaps one of the worst songs of all time.

He was only messed up about it because it was a boy?? And she was far enough along that they could determine the sex?

My wife and I lost a a child at 9 weeks, and we paid to determine the sex. Because it is at the chromosomal level, it can be determined early on. Usually at really early stages people don't know because if they lose the child it may happen at home. We had to have a DNC due to the miscarriage.

Sounds like it was a saline abortion that was done. I've read one article that stated they injected something into her stomach and waited and then had the baby and it was dead. So I'm assuming it was a later term abortion. I highly doubt he was messed up "just" because it was a boy. Either way… I feel for him and I'm glad he's speaking about it now. It'll turn alot of people to be more pro-life in knowing that it messed him up too, and that post-abortion syndrome is a real entity of which to deal with after an abortion. When people admit grief, remorse, sorrow or pain from an abortion experience, the last thing they need is people looking down their condescending noses making snippity comments.
