Melissa Ohden

Melissa Ohden weighed no more than 3 pounds at the time of her birth, in Ohio during the advent of 1977. She was told that her mother, a 19-year-old teen found that she was pregnant during her sophomore year of college. Alone and struggling financially, she decided that the best course of action would be to get an abortion. 8 months pregnant, she went to the hospital to receive a saline-solution abortion (this process has been discontinued due to its brutality).
