She felt she couldn't tell her parents. She had no one to turn to. So, her boyfriend's mother arranged an abortion. '...things got progressively worse. I had opened up a need in my life for sexual intimacy...I found myself going from boyfriend to boyfriend...in my sophomore year, I became pregnant for my second time.' Michelle again sought abortion as her way out of pregnancy. Again, abortion seemed to be the easy way out. 'I didn't care..I'm going to hell. There is no way back. I didn't care about anything.
