I don’t believe it. Abortion was not legal in 1960 in the US and no hospital would touch it. They might have “cleaned up” after somebody did the termination in his office, but they would never have deliberately aborted a baby.
If Michelle wasn’t so scary looking’ perhaps Barak would have joined Tiger’s club.
Nope, you’d send them out of the country to do it. Most likely, to Mexico. They were doing that in the 60’s and I’m sure before that.
Sorry to burst your bubble. I had a friend in 1968, in a small town in Illinois, who had an abortion. I was so upset when she told me what she was going to do as I remembered that woman, dead on the hospital lawn, on the cover of Life magazine. She told me her mother said it is really routine (I guess her divorcee mom had had at least one abortion herself). She said ‘You have it done in a hospital and they just call it a D and C’. Do you really think Monroe couldn’t have been able to get an abortion??
In 1960 as now, money talks. And both Marilyn and the Kennedys were rich. On top of that, the Kennedys were powerful. If the money wouldn’t keep them quiet, the threats of a powerful political family would.

I bet it was readily available for the rich an famous in California by 1960! It WAS a STATE issue, and NOT Federally regulated, back then.
You don’t think abortions happened in 1960? In a city one could always find a discrete doctor to do the job for a suitable non receipted fee.
