(4 o'clock in the morning. A doctor comes out to the waiting room. He is frowning and avoids eye contact with the person he is coming to talk to. She knows what he is going to say from his body language. Her eyes start to water. She starts choking up and looks up at him through teary eyes as he comes near.)
"I'm sorry, Ma'am, I'm so sorry."
(Tears now fall down her cheeks. The doctor offers her a Kleenex. She is too broken up to grab it. Tears flow heavily from both eyes. A nurse who came out with the doctor puts her arm around the woman and tries to console her.)
The doctor speaks. "He…" He pauses."He's not gonna make it."
(The woman starts crying harder.)
"Your baby…he didn't survive the abortion…I'm sorry. We did all we could."
