3. Yeah, well, as I said, we went broke

It was a non-profit run by a women's collective. Almost none of us worked there full-time; we had second jobs that paid better. The only one who made any money was the doctor, and he was driving a ten-year-old Toyota. There were two other clinics in town that weren't bad, but they charged more.

We're down to one clinic here now. The pressure on staff is just too high. Getting death threats and having your house picketed and your tires slashed on a regular basis can be discouraging, to say the least. At that we were lucky. No one was bombed or shot.

I really, really hate those fanatics!
