My problem with Stevie if I'm allowed to have one is that she has been said to have had as many as seven abortions, and at least '
several' going by iron-clad legitimnate sources. Seven mistakes is a huge number for something like this. A misuse of abortion on that scale by someone who has he resources to do something else? That makes it bad for others, especially people still having to fight for a choice for mostly poor and far more resourceless women and victims of attack.
The would-have-been-fathers of some do seem to hold a grudge still because they were kept in the dark and/or allowed no voice, and they also had resources. As a human being I say the hell with any career in that case. It is something that has effected my enjoyment of her music at times, it might be better not to know but I do. Surely if you don't like the balance nature forces on us you could have gotten yourself surgically able to have sex without possibility of pregnancy after one or two mistakes.
This is a subject like Michael Jackson's 'special misunderstood love' for children that some just will never be able to be objective about, but that can be their willfulness. You've been in trouble, so why have an amusement park on your property and be alone numerous times in your bedroom with other peoples' kids? Why not get psychological help with all your money? You've been in trouble, so why keep taking chances when you can do something to avoid it happening again and again and insisting you are the only one to 'deal' with the result of your actions when you so obviously haven't shown any success or ability before? Look where Jackson ended up, unable to sleep at night without the most powerful sedative known! His fans were no help to him in that they just propped up his facade of innocence and of fathering three children like a normal man. I'd have respected someone coming out of the closet, but now these people are just going to abuse his so-called kids to keep making money from fanatics who say dumb things about them inheriting his talent. I don't think Stevie's fans are this extreme but they don't help her in excusing any and all behavior. I feel sorry for Jackson and recognize he paid the ultimate price, and I also feel sorry for Stevie. People do need to know that an abortion is an extreme solution with major consequences well beyond legalities. There is no fair. At best it is a lesser of evils situation to be made by those with direct knowledge, and someone abusing it's availability jeopardizes it for others.
