before the pill
My best friend in high school had three older brothers and one day I must have asked why they were so much older than she. Her story was that her dad's first wife had the three boys and got pregnant again. She could not handle another child financially or emotionally so she decided on a coat hanger abortion. She died from the infection and the three boys were living from one relative to another while their father worked and until he married again. They loved their new stepmother but this would never have to happend today because of all that planned parenthood has done. My daughter had a friend who was having sex and was only 16, so I told her to take her to planned parenthood for information. I knew I could not get involved. They went and it was a happy ending. Her friend got on the pill and about ten years later sent a birth invitation to my daughter. Their friendship had ended because of schools, etc. but she never forgot who helped her control her life. heleng
