DISQUS

As the Clinic’s Medicaid Organizer has indicated at Feministe, the request for stories is not restricted to those women who actually had abortions. Rather, the clinic is also interested in stories from women who were compelled to give birth due to financial hardship.

I've also suggested that it might be a good idea to solicit stories from grandparents who are being forced to raise unplanned grandchildren after their daughters were financially compelled to give birth. Studies show that unplanned surrogate parenting is emotionally and physically draining. The generation gap is larger than between parent and child, questions regarding legal rights can cause complications, and the burden often leads to the abandoment of leisure and retirement pursuits.
