'View' co-host discusses past abortions

Sherri Shepherd, who frequently expresses her Christian views on her U.S. television chat show "The View," says she had several abortions when she was younger.

Usmagazine.com reported the stand-up comedienne, who is one of the five panelists on ABC's "The View," spoke candidly about her past to Precious Times, a black Christian women's magazine.

"My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses," Shepherd is quoted as saying.

Recalling how she herself was "in a very physically abusive relationship," Shepherd admitted, "I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count."

The bubbly TV personality said there was once a time her self-esteem was so low, "I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn't even make a difference."

She added that after she converted to Christianity, however, "God showed me that it would make a difference."

Abortion

Sherry,

That was very bold of you to put that information out about you. I'm so happy that God is a loving God. Once you went to Him and asked Him for His forgiveness it was done. I'm certain that a lot of women/girls that were thinking about abortion are probably not thinking about it anymore. God is good and worthy to be praised at ALL times! Amen...

Sherri, Don't Worry.

let's stop pointing fingers at others. I truly believe that if we still had prayer in the schools, we wouldn't have so many dropouts and crime. Also what about the courts. They make swear on the bible but yet no 10 commandments allowed? What is wrong with the picture here. Let's not be polltically correct. instead be correct.hey all you out there who think that you shoud be anything different that God has made you. Read Romans chapter1 all the way through. Men. be men and not sissies, step up to the plate and own up to your responsibilties of being a father( a real dad) not just a sperm dropper and leave when it's convient for you.

Sherri, Don't worry about what others say. I am almost sure that anybody that has the nerve to judge you has a hellva lot of skeletons in their closets that they cannot even count. It between you and God, our savior, Jesus Christ you have to snswer. Just work on your own program and redemption and let other chips lay as the will.
God bless you. Always remember that, when people point fingers, 3 come back on them.
