<\/div>

You’ve probably already heard about the bizarre \u201cabortion contract<\/a>\u201d drawn up in 2007 between NBA player J.J. Redick and his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Lopez. The \u201ccontract\u201d stipulated that Lopez would receive $25,000 to abort the child, despite Redick’s\u00a0denials that the baby was his. Redick also agreed to stay with Lopez for another year, and that any further contact would be considered \u201cstalking.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the story gets even worse. Vanessa apparently signed the contract under duress hours before her abortion, while also under the influence of Valium.<\/p>\n

Vanessa\u2019s abortion documents, which she agreed to release to Jill Stanek\u2019s blog<\/a>, show that she signed the \u201ccontract\u201d just hours before undergoing a second-trimester abortion while 16-17 weeks pregnant. I really have no words to describe the documents and e-mail exchanges between Redick and his lawyers, so I\u2019ll go with Stanek\u2019s description: \u201ccrass and sexist.\u201d They required, among other humiliations, Vanessa to immediately turn over her medical records to \u201cprove\u201d she was actually pregnant and had gone through with the abortion. Redick\u2019s lawyer demanded these records mere hours after Lopez underwent a gruesome D&E<\/a> procedure, in which the fetus is dismembered.<\/p>\n

In the waiting room, Vanessa completed a pre-abortion questionnaire in which she said she felt \u201cconfused,\u201d \u201csad,\u201d guilty,\u201d and \u201cforced into it.\u201d Despite having knowledge that this was a coerced abortion, late-term abortionist Joshua Perper performed one anyway.<\/p>\n

A year later, Vanessa was showing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe told me she wanted to have this baby but he was\u00a0adamant\u00a0in his opposition. She thought if she did what he wanted her to do, he would continue the relationship with her,\u201d a source close to Vanessa told Stanek. \u201cShe had no attorney. She hoped somehow, some way that doing what he wanted her to do would benefit her in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needless to say, she never heard from Redick again.<\/p>\n

This is exactly why I’ve described abortion as a slimebag\u2019s best friend<\/a>. J.J. Redick – who describes himself on Twitter as a \u201cChristian\u201d – is a disgrace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
