Should I tell my daughter about her mother's two abortions?

I'm a single dad with a senior in high school -- does she need to know this secret, and should she hear it from me?

    Oh for the love of....

    Revealing mom's abortions in the guise of a presumably mature discussion of sexuality and contraception. How noble...

    I would no more discuss my ex's 2 abortions with my daughter than I would her mom's 2 arrests for shoplifting. What would be the point, except to metaphorically backhand mom for her sad history? Oh, and incidentally, guarantee a total screwing up of my daughter's head.

    Jeez, can't anybody sense an ulterior motive anymore?
