Showing Original Post only (View all)Pro-Lifer Suggests Abortion To Blame For Robin Williams' Depression [View all]
The pro-life site Life News on Tuesday published a piece suggesting that an abortion in actor Robin Williams' past may have contributed to the depression he struggled with throughout his life.
The story, titled "Robin Williams: Abortion of His Unborn Child May Have Added to Struggle With Depression," surfaced part of a biography of Williams that mentions that his girlfriend had an abortion in the 1970s.
"Many are aware that Williams struggled for years with serious addiction issues. However a lesser known fact is that one of those demons was an abortion that took place in the 1970s," Life News' Kevin Burke wrote.
....
The writer analyzed Williams' battle with addiction and discussion of depression, looking for signs that it was in some way linked to the abortion.
....
Burke then reimagined the quote to be about abortion and wrote that "Williams may have been making a thinly veiled reference to what society tells us does not exist his post abortion trauma and complicated grief."

These fucking scumbags. Is there nothing they won't try to incorporate into efforts to turn women into breeding animals in the name of voodoo.

First of all, I'm sick to death of clinical depression and addiction being referred to as "demons".

Not sure if it's been posted elsewhere, but Limbaugh had a say on William's death as well.
