UK Lily Allen admits she 'can't remember' how many abortions she has had

Lily Allen Opens Up on Abortions and the Right to Choose: “I Don’t Want a Baby is Reason Enough”

 

Lily Allen has made frank and powerful admissions about her reproductive past, speaking candidly about multiple abortions and challenging the need for women to justify their decisions. Appearing alongside her close friend Miquita Oliver on their podcast Miss Me?, the 40-year-old singer didn’t hold back when describing her experience with contraception and pregnancy.

“I just remember I have an IUD now,” she said. “I think I’m on my third maybe fourth and I just remember before that it was a complete disaster area. Yeah, I’d get pregnant all the time, all the time.”

 

 

Miquita, 41, seemed surprised and confessed she didn’t know if Lily had ever had a termination. In response, Lily began singing a parody of Frank Sinatra’s My Way: “Abortions I’ve had a few... but then again... I can’t remember exactly how many.” She giggled before adding, “I can’t remember. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five.”

 

Miquita admitted, “I’ve had about five too! Lily I’m so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment. We’ve had about the same amount of abortions.”

 

Reflecting on her past relationships, Lily recalled one situation where a former partner offered to pay for her abortion. “I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic!”

 

Miquita responded in kind: “I actually think that is romantic! Do you not think that’s romantic?” Lily questioned herself, “Am I an idiot? What? Getting rid of the problem?”

 

Miquita pushed the idea further: “No but if you’re both like ‘let’s not do this. I don’t want it no neither do I, I don’t have any money well I can sort that out…’” Lily, however, disagreed. “No I don’t think it’s generous or romantic. Think about that investment, like that’s how much is it 500 quid? Kids are a lot more expensive.” She also revealed that after the abortion, the man never contacted her again, adding, “I mean fair tbh. I was a f*ing crazy b** – still am!”

Miquita reflected on her own early experience, saying, “I was very excited! I felt like I was like a woman.” She even recalled bumping into old school friends at a contraceptive clinic, saying that starting her contraceptive journey made her feel like “it meant I was having sex.” Yet despite the personal empowerment, she admitted, “I felt really embarrassed to even say that I had more than one abortion, why the f*** should I be ashamed? I have had a few.”

 

Lily, who has two daughters with ex-husband Sam Cooper, took issue with societal expectations for women to explain their choices. “It actually irritates me,” she said. “I’ve seen memes going around sometimes, on Instagram from pro-abortion accounts or whatever, whenever this conversation comes up, and suddenly you start seeing people posting things about extraordinary reasons for having an abortion. Like: ‘My aunt had a kid that had this disability,’ or whatever, ‘if she went full term it was going to kill her, so we have to.’ It’s like, shut up! Just: ‘I don’t want a f***ing baby right now.’ Literally: ‘Don’t want a baby’ is enough reason.”

 

In 2022, Allen was vocal following the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade. On stage with Olivia Rodrigo at Glastonbury, she performed her hit F** You* in protest. Olivia told the crowd, “I’m devastated and terrified [by the ruling] and so many women and girls are going to die because of this.” She went on to dedicate the song to the five justices who voted to overturn the landmark ruling, and Allen added, “We hate you guys!”

 

Later on Instagram, Lily reiterated her message: “Most people I know, myself included, just didn’t want to have a f***ing baby and that is reason enough. We don’t have to justify it.”

 

The conversation comes amid sweeping legal changes in the UK, where MPs recently voted to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies. The legislation, passed by 379 votes to 137, will protect women from prosecution for ending their pregnancies themselves, even without medical approval or beyond the current 24-week legal limit. However, criminal penalties remain for medical professionals who breach the law and for partners who interfere without consent.

 

Lily Allen’s outspoken stance adds a raw, personal voice to a debate that remains deeply political—and deeply personal.

She lives in the UK ?

Better kill your fetus than letting it live in a distopian future.

She did let 2 survive, I wonder how they will feel about their 3 (or was it 4?) siblings being terminated?

 

They already have to deal with ruining their Mum's career.

Men forget that men don't carry babies so they can't imagine the fear of giving birth to one you don't actually want.

Abortion is not contraception, and should not be used as such. This woman is a disgrace.  Has the idiot never heard of the Morning After Pill?

Thats what contraception is for, don't want one don't have sex without it

[save the frogs]

This article is in the right place.

A lot of guys here are into women with ridiculously absurdly high body counts. 

 

[frank83628]

She was vocal about roe v Wade back in 2022, even thought she is British and doenst effect here?

this is a 3 yrs old story just making headlines now because of what?

 

[fredwiggy]

And she, and others like here, already have children so what are they learning?

[Photoguy21]

Of course she wont remember, the last one was between her ears. If, as she says, she doesn't want children then she should get sterilised.

JonnyF already aswered that :

 

It ruined her career. 

And having kids wrecks the female body.

It will never be the same as before .

 

The kids are learning that their mother made 2 mistakes , and they will suffer from it.

[Stuck in Thailand]

More pricks than Phil Taylor's treble 20.

Hmm…..valiant try at humour but the expression is “more pricks than a 20 year old dart board”

Phil Taylor’s treble 20 was just one prick.

Ok I’ll get me coat.

OK, so she's been banged more times than Stevie Wonder's big toe, or she's been rogered more times than a policeman's radio.

[Magictoad]

That kind of casual,  throwaway comment was made by her to make her seem outrageous and sensational but in fact just make her appear like an ignorant, cruel, stupid wastrel of the worst kind; what a b!/ch!

[3NUMBAS]

Good luck to her cervix
