Pro-Choice

I still laugh every time I find that Dear Abby article. I kept it along with many of her other little things.

When she found out my brother was en route, she wanted an abortion but that was not a legal choice in 1960 so she had him anyway. He is dead and gone now, cancer in his early 40s took him.

It was a real shock to want an abortion in 1960. I know my father tried to find a doctor that would provide the service but he couldn't find anyone. My very Catholic grandmother was crying her eyes out is what I was told as my father asked her for some money so my mother could obtain one (illegally no doubt).

All in all it was a major fail all the way around sadly.
