I thought it was interesting to read Joanna Rubin's account of her unplanned pregnancy. My question is if JOanna knew the risks of sleeping with her boyfriend and she didn't see a future with him then why take those huge risks sleeping with him? It's not like she was uneducated as far as the risks and unsafety of abortions. It is a type of rebellion for women? -- Rose Ferguson | I thought it was interesting to read Joanna Rubin's account of her unplanned pregnancy.

| + | I also found in MP it interesting to read about Joyce Johnsons experience obtaining an illegal abortion in NYC. What really struck me was how she had to get "drinks" with the doctor to set up the abortion appointment. Also that the room where the procedure took place, everything in the room was white. White representing pure and clean with a procedure of quite the opposite. Was this situation a common trend for women at this time? -- Rose Ferguson | ||
