Monique Andrée Serf (June 9, 1930 – November 24, 1997), aka "Barbara" was a popular French female singer. She took her stage name from her Russian grandmother, Varvara Brodsky. She debuted as Barbara Brodi, calling herself "the black eagle". Her song, L'Aigle noir, sold a million copies in twelve hours.Norman Lebrecht: "Barbara is all about the unsaid; she's a Freudian enigma at the heart of France."
Born in Paris to a Jewish family, she was ten years old when she had to go into hiding during the German occupation of France in World War II. After the war ended, a neighborhood professor of music heard Monique sing and took an interest in helping her develop her talents. She was given vocal lessons and taught to play the piano and eventually she enrolled at the Ecole Supérieure de Musique. However, money was a problem and she gave up her musical studies to sing at "La Fontaine des Quatre Saisons," a then popular cabaret in Paris.
A sensitive girl[citation needed], she was deeply scarred by the war and her family's plight. Her inner feelings of emptiness experienced at this stage in her showed in her appearance and in her songs, particularly "Mon Enfance". It is reported by Barbara in her interrupted (assembled from notes found in her house at Precy-sur-Marne) autobiography, "Il Etait un Piano Noir", that her father sexually abused her when she was ten. He would later leave the family never to return. Barbara attended his burial in Nantes, which originated one of her most popular songs ("Nantes"), immortalizing that time in her life.[citation needed]

Plot: Crisis Pregnancy Centers draw in vulnerable men and women when they experience an unplanned pregnancy. They operate as if they are a professional medical operation, profess to give you every choice and option available and spout lies cloaked as truth to get you to stay pregnant, whether its a good idea for the help seeking person or not. This short comedy sketch is a satire, sadly not so far fetched, that touches on some of the tactics used by these centers to confuse and trick the people that come to them. We thought some of the methods were so absurd they were laughable!! In the wake of a recent rash of debate about a women's right to choose we thought this was an important topic to bring to light, in a poignant yet hilarious way!
