Elvis Presley\u2019s only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, passed away in 2023, but not without leaving a strong message on abortion in her posthumous memoir, highlighting not only her deep regret but the anguish it caused her boyfriend at the time and later first husband, Danny Keough.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presley\u2019s first marriage to Danny Keough was rife with difficulties and conflict. When Presley was 17, and Keough was 21, they began dating and later suffered an ectopic pregnancy. However, Presley\u2019s trauma and connection to Keough led her to get pregnant with Keough again purposefully, but instead of suffering an ectopic pregnancy, she chose an abortion. According to Business Insider<\/a>, Presley describes her and Keough as \u201cdestroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThat second time, I didn\u2019t know what to do, and neither did Danny,\u201d she said. \u201cI ended up having an abortion. And it was the stupidest thing I\u2019ve ever done in my whole life. I was devastated. I did it and we both cried. We were both destroyed and not long after that we fell apart and broke up. I couldn\u2019t live with myself.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they would later go on to have children Riley and Benjamin, as Presley describes being \u201cin love with being a mom\u201d and seeing her firstborn Riley as the \u201cmost precious gem,\u201d Presley\u2019s inclusion of Keough in her abortion story points to an often overlooked third party in these tragic scenarios \u2013 fathers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Students for Life of America <\/em>(SFLA) has constantly brought up the point that abortion supporters conveniently ignore that abortion hurts women physically and mentally. There is a plethora of studies to prove it, specifically from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, which covers Chemical Abortion Pill Emergency Room (ER) visits<\/a>, abortion regret<\/a>, dangerous physical symptoms<\/a>, and mental health issues.<\/a> Always, Chemical Abortion Pills take the life of an innocent preborn baby and even cause death<\/a> and infertility<\/a> for mothers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, very little empirical research has been done on how abortion harms men. Just this year, SFLA recently shared the story<\/a> of Tommy Kearns, who lost his daughter, Clementine, at five months in the womb. Many post-abortive fathers mirror Keough and Kearns\u2019 devastation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
