No one watches Rosie O'Donnell's show on OWN, but she does get some pretty big celebrities to show up. Chelsea Handler is promoting her new sitcom Are You There, Chelsea?, so she sat down with O'Donnell and talked about the abortion she had at 16 years old. "I was so delusional. I was like, I'm ready for a baby."
Handler says her parents made her get an abortion. They told her "You're throwing your entire life away. You're supposed to create a life for yourself, and we want you to enjoy your life and not be raising a child." They also told Chelsea that they're "certainly not going to raise it for you."
Chelsea says "I have no regret at all" and that she "wouldn't be a good mother," but I find this entire story offensive, biased and stupid.
First of all, Chelsea keeps talking about her abortion, which means she's still affected by it. Second, she didn't want to abort her baby, her parents did, which would explain why she's so affected by making a decision she didn't want to make. And third, there are mothers who are younger than 16 years old who were behaving as though they "wouldn't be a good mother" who have turned out to be phenomenal moms. Age has nothing to do with parenthood, maturity does.
Until Chelsea has a child of her own, I think she's going to have some regrets and be curious about what it would be like to have a child (considering that she lost hers at such a young age).
