I just admitted a 23 yr old in pre-term labor (ruptured) who is on her SEVENTH pregnancy. She has had 4 abortions AFTER her last 2 kids (her only actual births), b/c, get this ... "My medicaid didnt cover my birth control pills & i kept getting pregnant". So, I said "Did it cover the cost of the abortions?" She said "No". & I said "So, you spent 2K in the past 3.5 years on 4 abortions, but you could have just stayed on the pill for what? $100 a year?"


Errrrrr! Needless to say, I think i talked her into the IUD after this 3rd baby! (breathe ... breathe ... breathe ...!)

That is a sad story for sure. Glad you are working on her for some BC. I hope the baby is okay and that she will be okay taking good care of it!!

Wow, that is SAD. It amazes me-


I am pro choice. However, I feel like personal responsibility and accountability must be factor number one.
