Great article by Kevin Burke on Steve Tyler and his experience with abortion. Sounds like they had the same kind of abortion I did, saline, and were then left to give birth and see their dead baby boy. Healing is possible, but the vision of your dead child and the horror of abortion never leaves you. Over 30 years later there is still a part of me that cannot believe they allow this to go on.
I give Steven credit for sharing his experience and his pain and pray he finds the help he needs..Too bad he does not know of our "Entering Canaan" mens day tomorrow!

Post-Abortion Trauma
“Jesus, what have I done?”
Long before he won accolades as an American Idol judge, Steven Tyler was a bona-fide rock star, with all that that implied. In 1975, when he was in his late 20s and the lead singer for the band Aerosmith, Tyler persuaded the parents of his 14-year-old girlfriend, Julia Holcomb, to make him her legal guardian so that they could live together in Boston.
When Miss Holcomb and Tyler conceived a child, his longtime friend Ray Tabano convinced Tyler that abortion was the only solution. In the Aerosmith “autobiography,” Walk This Way (in which recollections by all the band members, and their friends and lovers, were assembled by the author Stephen Davis), Tabano says: “So they had the abortion, and it really messed Steven up because it was a boy. He . . . saw the whole thing and it [messed] him up big time.”
