Did Stevie ever get pregnant?

I'm sorry if this isn't an appropiate topic to dicuss on here. I'll delete if it isn't.

Anyway, I've heard rumors about her being pregnant and having an abortion. Is there any proof to disclaim or prove these rumors?

Yes, there's definitely proof - if you consider her word the proof. The was an audio interview out there from 94-ish where she talks about it. There's also a few other print interviews where she talks about the "abortions" candidly.

She admitted that she was pregnant with Don Henley's baby, but had an abortion. She only talked about this after Don divulged it in an interview.

There are some claims that she's had more than that one abortion, although nothing has really been confirmed/substantiated, and likely never will.

Excerpt from VOX Magazine article/interview

But now there is remorse at the havoc her abortions have wreaked on her psyche.

"To give up four babies is to give up a lot that would be here now. So that bothers me, a lot, and really breaks my heart. But they're gone, so..." She composes herself. "But I couldn't have because I was too busy. And I had all these commitments." She wants to adopt, but age and single-parenthood are against her. "I've also though about having one myself but I'm booked up for the next four years. I don't know if, at my age, I can get pregnant right away, do an album at the same time, have a baby, promote an album, go out on tour with the baby. So I'm going back and forth in my mind. At 43 years old, my time clock is ticking, so I can't afford to wait around for very long." Surely these are the same excuses she made on the last four occasions -- with two important differences. There is no obvious candidate for the father, and even if there were, the decision totally remains in her hands.

Four abortions? Maybe one of those babies was her best friend's son?

Her best friends son? You mean Matthew?

He's still alive and well.

In 1991 she was 43. Booked up for the next four years?? I don't think so.

I didn't see anyone judging anybody here, it was just a question. No judgments were made.

... but the implication is inherent in discussion of this issue. It's a private business, regardless of Stevie's past comments. Leave it alone.

AGREED. This does NOT need to be discussed.

You can't control the matter by "leaving it alone." Is it private? Sure - Stevie's abortion(s) should be private, but it's not seeing as how Stevie's given interviews on the subject. Is it tasteful to discuss? Personally I don't think so. But, it is information that's already out there. Stevie put it out there.

So, as far as I am concerned it is open to discussion provided that the topic doesn't veer into attacking others or airing personal views about the morality (or immorality) of abortion.
