Constance Hall forced to justify her controversial abortion comment

The blogger faces more criticism.

It was just yesterday that Constance Hall announced she is expecting her first child with new partner Denim Cooke. 

Hall already shares four children with ex-partner Bill Mahon, and Cooke is a father of two. 

Within minutes of announcing her pregnancy the Perth bloggers social media pages were inundated with negative comments.

The 33-year-old announced the couples happy announcement by captioning a photo, ‘We are not ready for this and I am petrified, babies terrify me.’

It continued, ‘But are we happy? Pigs in s***. Well…. I’m hormonal, I considered having an abortion this morning because Densy slept in.’

Hall has now responded to the criticism. 

A lot of people are angry that I joked about abortion,’ she began her post. ‘Actually, I was dead set serious.’

The mum-of-six said she did consider an abortion and she actually called her sister to talk about it.

‘I am pro choice, I always have been and I believe in normalising abortions, they shouldn’t be a dirty secret that we don’t discuss in public forums.

‘That said, I consider abortions and miscarriage/fertility issues two very separate topics. And I would never joke about the latter.’

Hall finished up her post by apologising to those who had been offended by her comments.

‘So I am sorry for offending those that were offended. It wasn’t intended to offend.’
