You are Elizabeth . . . You've just found out that you are 7 weeks' pregnant. You and your husband are raising two children, ages 2 and 4, in a small, rented apartment in New York City. Your husband has just been fired from his job, and there is barely enough money to pay rent and feed the family. You and your husband decide to seek an abortion.
Abortion is illegal in New York State except to save the woman's life.
