single and had a visiting relationship with a young gentleman who is no longer in
the picture. She had an abortion 10 years ago, a twin pregnancy at 28 weeks 15
years ago. Twin female babies were prematurely at 28 weeks gestation and died 1
month after birth. She does not really want to have another abortion but is
concerned about not having a significant person to support her. She said she was
