24. On Heavy Meds and Pregnant? How Would the Kid Come Out?

Medication and pregnancy often don't go well together. It also sounds
as if she knew she was in no shape to mother a child then anyway.

Was she "putting her life together" or was some relgious institution
reconstructing her life for her?

> Ed White, associate counsel at the Thomas More Law Center

We've heard of them before, haven't we?

I guess she should be entitled to her own file, but it won't stop there,
they are going to use them to build a case to further restrict access to abortion,
making the parental veto absolute, or even going further than that.
