The haunting 5th month abortion of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Julia Holcomb

via lifesitenews

I was told years ago that 95% of post-abortive couples break up. The trauma/sadness/anger is simply too much for a relationship to bear. This is certainly true for Tyler and Holcomb.

The facts are that Tyler, a rock star in his late 20s, took a 15-year-old girl as his girlfriend during the sex, drugs and rock n roll days of the 1970s. Her oddly permissive mother signed over guardianship of her to him, while moving on to yet another marriage. This resulted in a pregnancy that young Julia was eventually convinced to abort, and subsequent real trauma to both parents. Tyler attended the abortion and experienced immediate regret as he watched her give birth to their son, who he claims was born alive and left there to die. "Jesus, what have I done?"

She initially resisted calls to abort the child.  Then a mysterious house fire nearly claimed her life.  While laying on her hospital bed after barely surviving the fire, Tyler badgered her and threatened her with abandonment until she agreed to the abortion. Their relationship broke up anyway.  She suffered much grief and despair after that, eventually joining a church.  She rebuilt her life, attained her GED, married and had seven children.

Bottom line is, this vulnerable girl and baby needed protection, and they got it from no one.
