Lily Allen lashes out at fathers

Sticking up for women ... Lily Allen

PREGNANT pop star Lily Allen has launched a sensational Twitter rant at men who walk out on their children.

The 27-year-old singer, who gave birth to daughter Ethel last year and is expecting her second child with builder husband Sam Cooper, gave her verdict after wading into an abortion row on her social networking account.

In a flurry of messages, she stuck up for women who want to have terminations because she is sick of seeing families break up under the pressure of having children.

Lily, who has suffered two miscarriages, tweeted: “Can small minded idiot blokes stop telling women whether or not they're entitled to abortions please? #enoughnow”

Lashing out ... Lily Allen's Twitter feed

It followed Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt's comments last week that he would like to see a ban on terminations more than 12 weeks into a pregnancy.

Lily, who was raised by just her mother after her famous actor father Keith Allen left the family, added: “Babies are lovely but quite hard work ... Sometimes there are lovely dads who take their responsibilities very seriously and work very hard to look after their babies. These men should be applauded.

“But sometimes, quite often, when the baby cries a lot the man gets frustrated and leaves the baby and the lady that had the baby."

Lily said: “He sticks his fingers in his ears and pretends that the baby isn’t really there, he stops answering his phone when the lady calls.

Married ... Lily and husband Sam Cooper

“The lady gets very sad and feels very alone and angry and even though she loves her baby more than anything ..."

She continued: "She wonders what her life might have been like if she had never had the baby in the first place ... So to all the Pro Lifers spamming me with s***.

"This is one of the many reasons I believe a woman should have a right to choose.

“The day the number of single father households equal the number of single mother households is the day I start to listen to their views.”

Outrage ... Lily's attack

She later claimed the messages were lyrics from an upcoming track, telling fans: "Those were the lyrics from the first single, excited?”

Lily's messages received a huge backlash from pro life advocates and men being horrible about women – prompting her to tweet: “Wow there are ALOT of women haters out here. Scary s***.#myuterusisMYuterus.”

Later, TV presenter and mother-of-two Myleene Klass, who separated from husband Graham Quinn, weighed in, writing: “Those condemning @lilyrosecooper have looser tongues than morals.”
