235. Sophie's Choice

Annie is 34, the primary breadwinner and probably primary caregiver for her two children given the nature of our culture. Not saying that her partner is a slacker, but that's how it is. 

Now comes an unplanned pregnancy with that type of morning sickness that leaves the mother feeling really nauseated without actually throwing up. She can't afford to miss work--she can't afford this pregnancy, period.

And she feels guilty because she doesn't want the pregnancy.  Have you considered termination I ask; I could never do that she replies but you know she has thought about it, which only increases her guilt.
