Mary does her final year at a special school for expectant mothers. 2007 - School counsellor contacts Planned Parenthood. Mary gets an abortion without her parents' consent or knowledge. Mary given condoms and told to be more careful next time, and also kids don't need fathers, anyway. The rest yes. This one: Correction: 1960: Mary is branded a **** by the entire world, absolutely nothing happens to boy. Mary sent to nasty convent type home and when baby is born its forcably taken off her and put up for adoption. Mary moves to another town so she can start life again without being ostracised. 2007: Mary choses to keep baby or chooses to adopt it or have abortion as it should be. If Mary chooses to adopt she knows who the new parents are and baby is given the option of contacting her later or not.	pctek (84)
