Eve's Time: Standing in the Rubble


“Hello, thank you for calling Planned Parenthood.  How may I help you?”  Eve hung up the phone again.  She put her cell phone in her purse and stared at herself in the rearview mirror.  She didn’t recognize the person who was looking back at her.  She felt nauseous.  She wasn’t sure if it was the pregnancy or the guilt.  She felt ashamed for calling Planned Parenthood to schedule a third abortion.  She felt even more ashamed that she already had the phone number for Planned Parenthood saved in her cell phone’s contacts right after Paulie’s Pizza.
