Aerosmith's Steven Tyler has unveiled his pain at allowing his child to be aborted. Tyler was 25 in 1975, when he and his live-in girlfriend decided to abort their child. "It was a big crisis," he recalled in Walk This Way, Aerosmith's tell-all memoir. "It's a major thing when you're growing something with a woman, but they convinced us that it would never work out and would ruin our lives."

Tyler's girlfriend, whom he later dropped, had a saline abortion, a procedure in which a salt solution is used to slowly burn and kill the baby. Tyler witnessed it all. "You go to the doctor and they put the needle in her belly and they squeeze the stuff in and you watch. And it comes out dead. I was pretty devastated. In my mind, I'm going, 'Jesus, what have I done?'"
