:27:22
You know, I don't feel good.
I don't want to do this.

:27:25
Oh, Ruth,
I know it's scary,

:27:27
but you have to be brave.
:27:29
You're in the best
of hands here.

:27:31
Now, before you know it,
:27:33
you'll just be
right as rain.

:27:39
Come on.
:27:41
Congratulations.
:27:43
Your test confirms that you,
in fact, have a baby on the way.

:27:46
How about that?
:27:49
Well, I need to find out
about getting an abortion.

:27:51
Well, that's...
:27:54
I think you're just
very upset right now,

:27:56
and you don't understand
all the facts.

:27:59
I want you to talk to me
about whatever is troubling you.

:28:03
I mean,
that's what I'm here for...

:28:04
I'm here to listen.
:28:06
Okay.
:28:07
Like I said,
I need to get an abortion.

:28:10
Let me just ask you
something, Ruth.

:28:12
Have you ever
really taken the time

:28:14
to think about what it means
to have an abortion?

:28:17
Yeah.
:28:18
Um, it means that
I don't have to go to jail,

:28:21
and it means I don't have
to have another baby,

:28:24
and it means that I can start
getting my life together.

:28:28
I, I, I, I, I...
:28:31
Don't you think that's all
just a little selfish?

:28:33
Isn't there someone else here
you need to consider,

:28:36
someone who's living
inside you right now,

:28:39
just waiting to be born?
:28:42
I think this would be
a good time

:28:44
to have Dr. Rollins step in
and just explain

:28:46
some of the medical facts
to you, hmm?

:28:54
Charlie...
:28:55
Huh? What?
Oh, what? Oh!

:28:57
Yes, yes.
