Dorothy Baker of Des Moines, Iowa writes, “Dear Grandmother Winsome, now that I’m postmenopausal, what should I do with the extra money that I set aside each month for abortions?” 

Dorothy, while it is highly unlikely that you will become pregnant, there is still that slight chance.  I applaud the idea of celebrating your likely inability to conceive, but I must warn you against going out and blowing your entire abortion fund.  Do something special for yourself, but keep a little money in that account, just in case.
