"Not everything in Chelsea Handler&amp;apos;s life is a laughing matter.\r\nWhile appearing on The Rosie Show, the 36-year-old TV host revealed she got pregnant when she was just 16 years old -- and she was determined to keep the child.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I was so delusional,&amp;quot; Handler said Wednesday. &amp;quot;I was like, &amp;apos;I&amp;apos;m ready for a baby.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nThe New Jersey native&amp;apos;s parents, Rita and Seymour, had different plans for their daughter. &amp;quot;You&amp;apos;re throwing your entire life away,&amp;quot; they told her. &amp;quot;You&amp;apos;re supposed to create a life for yourself. We want you to enjoy your life and not be raising a child, and we&amp;apos;re certainly not going to raise it for you.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHost Rosie O&amp;apos;Donnell sympathized with Handler, arguing that for some women, having an abortion isn&amp;apos;t &amp;quot;a life-defining negative thing.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nTwenty years later, Handler said she has &amp;quot;no regrets&amp;quot; about her decision. &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;apos;t be a good mother,&amp;quot; the bestselling author said. &amp;quot;You should do whatever you want with your body and you shouldn&amp;apos;t let anyone tell you what to do.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
