Chelsea Handler Abortion, Though she was excited about the idea of becoming a young mom, Chelsea Handler is content with her decision to have an abortion. Chelsea Handler’s life hasn’t always been full of laughs. During an appearance on “The Rosie Show” this week, the outspoken comedienne opened up about the abortion she had at age 16.

“I was so delusional,” Handler, 36, said Wednesday. “I was like, ‘I’m ready for a baby.'” The “Chelsea Lately” host said that while she was excited about the idea of becoming a young mom, her parents weren’t so pleased about the situation.

“I was trying to argue with them and they were like, ‘You don’t understand,” Handler explained. “‘You’re throwing your entire life away. You’re not having a child right now. This is not what our family’s about. You know, you’re supposed to create a life for yourself, and we want you to enjoy your life and not be raising a child. And we’re certainly not going to raise it for you.’ ”

Ultimately, the New Jersey native said her parents, Rita and Seymour, convinced her to abort the pregnancy.

Two decades later, Handler said she has “no regrets” about her life-altering decision.

“I wouldn’t be a good mother,” she shared. “You should do whatever you want with your body and you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what to do.”
