Abortion Presumed; Don’t Tell Father

In an article titled, “Few choose parenthood as undergrads,” The Dartmouth leads by saying that the piece is the first in a two-part series on “students who continue their pregnancies.” Those foolish continuers of pregnancies. The article relates the story of two members of the class of 2000 who had a baby their junior year. They seem to be doing all right. The real meat of the story is that awful revelation that happens at every college, sooner or later:

Sara recalled speaking with another couple, Jen and Josh Nelson, both members of the Class of 1992, who had a baby as undergraduate students and felt that Dick’s House pushed them to abort the pregnancy.

“She went in [to Dick’s House], got the pregnancy test. They came back with the results and an appointment for the abortion and encouraged her not tell her boyfriend,” Sara said of Jen’s experience.
