There are still Maternity Homes NOW!!!!!!! There was still one in Lexington KY. in 1988 and as far as I know it is still there. There was one in Jackson MI. until a couple of weeks ago.
I know a woman who refused to allow her 16 year old dd any pain meds or pain intervention, attempting (her words) to "teach" her a lesson. The Mom had never been pregnant or given birth (dd was adopted as infant)and I was able to influence her to change her mind. I am not sure if the hospital would have even allowed the Mom to make that decision?
She was my babysitter actually. This child became Grandma's Joy and gave her the strength to battle cancer.
Paige-I think no option would be "mental force" although not physical force.
