News of tragically-troubled celebrity Courtney Love's choice of life -- rather than abortion -- for her daughter 15 years ago tells many truths about a "woman's right to choose."
"Love Rejected Abort Pressure" the New York Post reported yesterday. That pressure came from Love's manager, her inner circle and a doctor who were all concerned about the rocker's "heroin use during pregnancy," according to Warner Bros. former CEO Danny Goldberg in his new book "Bumping Into Geniuses."
When the doctor attempted to coerce Love into aborting the then 6-week pregnancy for the safety sake of the baby, Love demanded the facts from the doctor:
Is that a medical fact, or is that just your opinion? I want to see it in a medical book. She was interested in medical facts, not a sermon. [He] sheepishly acknowledged that at this early stage of pregnancy a woman could discontinue heroin use with no physical or psychological damage to the fetus. Courtney looked triumphant as she towered over the doctor seated at his desk.
Born healthy, Frances Bean Cobain lives today because her mother asked the right question, quite using herion and refused to be pushed into having an abortion.
That's one less tragedy in Love's life.

Courtney Love as a role model. Who woulda thunk it? But there it is.

I have been quite not using heroin for years now but it still does not make a woman like Courtney Love a role model.
