In 1968, five teenage college freshmen (myself included) came up with $600 for an illegal abortion for my roommate..she had to go to Nebraska .. We sold everything we could get our hands on, begged money from our parents, cleaned apartmentd, etc.
we were at University of Kansas... this was when she was 4 month along..
she came back..still pregnant
then we had to come up with $700 ..this time she went to Oklahoma and at 5 months & 1 wk she had the abortion.
she almost died, but did not go to the doctor.. we were her doctor..pooling what antibiotics we could scramble for her (there were not many drugs back then) we scrounged meds from everyone for her, and took turns cutting classes to watch her..
her boyfriend and his friends helped raise money too..and she went on to marry the guy (they've been married since 1970, and have 5 girls..the baby they aborted was a boy 
..
