A new book claims Courtney Love was pressured to abort her child with late rocker Kurt Cobain, because doctors feared her drug use would harm her unborn baby,
In Bumping Into Geniuses, former Warner Bros. Records boss Danny Goldberg who managed Cobain’s band Nirvana, claims medics were so worried about Love’s heroin use during her early pregnancy, they tried to convince her to have an abortion through an intervention.
Goldberg claims Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s chemical dependency program doctors “tried to give clinical advice, suggesting to Courtney that it was not a great idea to have a baby while dealing with addiction”.
But the request brought out Courtney’s stubborn side. Author Goldberg writes,

“(The doctor) suggested that it might not be safe for the baby, and Courtney, who was only six weeks pregnant, went into a confrontational mode. ‘Is that a medical fact, or is that just your opinion? I want to see it in a medical book.’ She was interested in medical facts, not a sermon. (The doctor) sheepishly acknowledged that at this early stage of pregnancy, a woman could discontinue heroin use with no physical or psychological damage to the fetus. Courtney looked triumphant as she towered over the doctor seated at his desk.”

Love did stop using heroin and gave birth to Frances Bean in 1992. Cobain’s early demise came two years later in 1994.
