She can't afford 900 dollars?


I find it ludicrous that a university grad whose dad is a big shot in the democratic party can't afford 900 dollars for something so important and has to ask the presidential candidate for the money !! Made me question the script

Pretty sure she was either still in school or just graduated. Either way she was an intern working for basically nothing. Most 22 year olds don't have $900 laying around

It may have gone to the IMDB trashcan, but there was a huuuuge thread on this subject.

It's highly believable that she thought her best option was to seek the money for an abortion from someone other than her very Catholic parents.

In accord with the prior poster, I don't think she was a "university grad." She was a student intern. Going a bit further, I think it's highly likely she wasn't working for basically nothing, but for literally nothing.
