PATRICIA

Eighteen-year-old Patricia is married with one child. Although she was using Depo-Provera as her contraceptive method, she didn't have enough money to continue her series and the inevitable happened--she became pregnant. Patricia's husband is now in jail, but fortunately her in-laws are taking care of her and her child. She states that she just couldn't bring another child into this unstable environment. Patricia though she had enough money when she went tot he clinic for an abortion, only to find out that she had to pay an additional fee for a sonogram too. Fortunately, the Lilith Fund was able to help.
