- Back in the '70s, Steven Tyler got his 14-year-old girlfriend pregnant (most likely while high on loads of drugs). At the suggestion of their friends, she had an abortion, which is described in the 1975 oral history of Aerosmith, Walk This Way, as an experience that really "messed Steven up." In Steven's new memoir, Does The Noise In My Head Bother You?, he touches on his relationship with the young woman and their drug addiction: Steven later left the young woman for Bebe Buell — Liv Tyler's mom — and she became suicidal. A right-wing writer for National Review, a conservative magazine, is now using Steven's story to illustrate an example of "post-abortion syndrome," a quack diagnosis that is not acknowledged by medical professionals. Steven Tyler's drug abuse, philandering and anger management problems were all "symptoms" of a grieving post-abortive father, according author Kevin Burke. Ugh, this pisses me off to no end. No one except for Steven Tyler can say for sure exactly what encouraged his lifelong addictions and I find it gross and opportunistic than some right-winger is shrieking, "It's because of the abortion!" [Jezebel, National Review]
