International singing sensation Susan Boyle has revealed that she could have been aborted as a baby in her mother’s womb if her mum had followed doctors’ advice.
But to her mother, a devout Roman Catholic, an abortion was unthinkable and she went through with the pregnancy.
Miss Boyle said doctors had told Bridget Boyle, then a 45-year-old mother of eight, that having another baby could kill her.
Unthinkable
The singer, writing in her autobiography, said when she was born doctors commented she would “never be anything” and she has been “trying all my life to prove them wrong”.
The Scottish star, who shot to fame on ITV’s popular show Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, explores her life in her book entitled The Woman I Was Born To Be.
She explained the situation surrounding her birth: “The doctors considered the danger so severe they offered a termination but that would have been unthinkable for my mother, a devout Catholic”.
