"About a month after she found out about that, I got pregnant for the first time. I knew I didn't want to have a baby at all, and wanted to get an abortion. But the day I found out, I wasn't sure what to do first. I felt alone and lost and needed someone to call who I could tell. I needed help. I wasn't sure if she would talk to me again so soon after what had happened. I decided to take a chance and try calling her. When I told her, she said, 'Well, an abortion is only like $500, so go turn a couple of tricks and get it taken care of,' before she hung up on me. I probably should have called someone else, but I didn't know who else to call."
