     I have a friend whom has had an abortion. She was 15 at the time.
It appears that she was not emotionally fit to carry a child. She also
did not love the father.  That is not really that important to the story
though.  She recently called me and she was depressed.  I found out why...

     She is currently 18 years old and she is using the pill as a form of
contrasepive.  In late January she was a week early on her period, she also
suffered from severe cramps.  She was awaken later that night by cramps.
She noticed blood everywhere.  She rushed to the hospital and found she had
a miscarriage.  

     Now that you have the basic story.  I have a few questions, please pardon
my ignorance.  1)  Is it possible that she may never carry a child to term due
to her abortion?  If it is, I feel that that is a crime in itself.  2) Is this
one of the effects of the pill?  Please note, My friend was not AWARE that she
was PREGNANT!!  3) Is there any kind of test that she can have to see if she 
can carry to term, or if she would have to have a bed pregnancy?  

     I am not sure if this belongs here, but, when in dought.....

     It also has something to do with the newsgroup....

                                              Thanks,

                                                   Brian Bolan

     Ps...  If you care to flame me for subject matter, feel free but, I can
only say it's part of the story.
