Myriam, 19, is pregnant
Nancy, 14, is with child
Phebee, 20, will soon give birth to her son
Jenny had an abortion
God is sending me a message by making all my
female relatives pregnant: Abstinence!!
Eyes everywhere, what will the neighbors think?
What will Rev. Evens think, say?
Pressure, time: Is it too late to get an abortion?
What if ... What if I die?..
