To have a child with somebody, it was scary. Diego is a good guy. He's wonderful. When I met him, he was a crazy kid. I think he had just turned 21. He's a year younger than me. He had two jobs at the time. He was working at Walmart and he was working at that restaurant. And we weren't making enough.
At the clinic, they were really gentle. I recall them not being snooty or ugly because, you know, we are in Texas.

Very few studies compare the longer-term health consequences of either of these outcomes for women experiencing an unwanted pregnancy. My colleague Dr. Lauren Ralph analyzed the data on the longer-term health outcomes.
