Kanye West has ramped up his manic tweets about personal things he will certainly regret when his children can read them.

 earlier today he Tweeted: “I cried at the thought of aborting my first born and everyone was so concerned about me… I’m concerned for the world that feels you shouldn’t cry about this subject.”

West had announced at a rally in South Carolina almost two weeks ago that he and wife Kim Kardashian had considered aborting their first child, North. He burst in tears and sobbed as he said it. (Note: They’ve had three more children since then.)

He followed that Tweet with this one: “There is a tactic of 4 D’s Distract Discredit
Dismiss
To Destroy I am quite alright Take a second and think about what is being projected here”

More recently, he reposted a story critical of famed abortion maverick Margaret Sanger, followed by this observation: “Over 22,500,000 black babies have been aborted over the past 50 years.”

He’s on a tear, we’ll see where it goes from here.
