Abortion worries
pregnant teen
By Abigail Van Buren
© 1976 by Chicago Tribune N V. Newt Synd Inc.
DEAR ABBY: I think I’m pregnant. I’ve made love with
my boyfriend, but it wasn’t planned or we would have used
something. I need some information on a clinic I can go to if
I need an abortion.
This really scares me as I’ve never been to a hospital in
my life. I’ve heard a lot of stories about girls who have had
abortions. Some die, and others can never have children.
Are there any free clinics? I can’t raise a lot of money.
Maybe a few hundred dollars. Is that enough for a safe
abortion? I'm in good health except for this problem.
I can’t tell my parents. It would kill them. They’ve
already been through this with my sister, only she got
married. I swore this would never happen to me.
Please answer me in the column. No way can a reply go
to my home. I am 19 and was a “nice” girl before this
happened.
SCARED TO DEATH
DEAR SCARED: First, go to your local Planned
Parenthood Clinic. They will arrange for an examination to
determine whether or not you are pregnant. If you are,
they will provide expert counseling to help you make the
decision that is best for you. Please write again and let me
know how you are. I care.
DEAR ABBY: It’s easy to understand why a married
man of 45 would leave his wife for a younger woman, but
how about a man that age who would leave a beautiful
36-year-old wife for an old, wrinkled grandmother of 55?
That is exactly what my brother did. He can’t be in his
right mind. Don’t tell me he is looking for “mother
substitute." Our mother is still living, and if ever a man got
his share of mother love Brother did. He was the “baby" of
the family, and the only boy, born after four girls.
So please tell me what an intelligent, good-looking,
professional man can see in a 55-year-old divorced retread.
It’s not money. She doesn’t have any, and he has plenty.
DISGUSTED IN CHICAGO
DEAR DISGUSTED: One of life's most baffling
mysteries is what people “in love” see in each other. But I
suspect your brother’s reasons are older than the hills and
younger than springtime. (P.S. You are not your brother’s
keeper.)
DEAR ABBY: I applaud that clergyman who was man
enough to admit that confessing his infidelity to his wife
was a terrible mistake.
My husband of 15 years, whom I loved, respected and
trusted implicitly, confessed such an affair to me two years
ago, and our marriage will never be the same again.
That boastful confession was deadly, despite his
proclaimed love for me. It was the biggest mistake he ever
made.
If only one person reading this is considering such a
confession to "cleanse his soul," I urge you, please, please,
don’t!
