Viewing Notes

Holy shit abortions were expensive in 1940

Oh wait maybe that’s for the birth. These sleazebag doctors are scamming young pregnant women by taking their money then birthing their child then selling the child (adoption) bc of some bullshit contract they conned the women into signing. Fuck these old gross white men.
