CLINIC: Planned Parenthood. This is Mary. May I help you?

CALLER: Hi. Yeah. I was wondering if you guys do abortions there.

CLINIC: Not at this facility. Would you like the phone number of our other clinic?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay. It’s, the phone number is 798-0706.

CALLER: Okay. Well, like my friend told me that you guys have to tell my parents before I can have an abortion. Is that true?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: No?

CLINIC: No. Everything here is confidential. We don’t tell anybody anything.

CALLER: Well, it’s just like my parents can’t find out at all because like, well my boyfriend’s 22, and we’re planning on getting married, but like my parents absolutely hate him because they think he’s too old for me.

CLINIC: Um-hum.

CALLER: So.

CLINIC: Well, that’s fine. Everything here is confidential. We don’t release any information unless you give us permission to.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Do you know like if — like say I wasn’t pregnant. Do you guys do birth control there?

CLINIC: We did. You could come in and have a test and if the test is negative then we can set you up an appointment to come in for birth control.

CALLER: Okay, and you guys wouldn’t have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: No. Don’t have to tell anybody.

CALLER: All right. Well, is there like an age limit for birth control or anything? Because I’ll be 14 in March?

CLINIC: A what? No.

CALLER: No?

CLINIC: You can come in. It’s okay.

CALLER: All right.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Well, do you like — I need to talk to my boyfriend and see if he has any other questions. But is it all right if I call you back and ask you?

CLINIC: Yes.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: All right.

CLINIC: All righty.

CALLER: Thanks.

CLINIC: Uh-huh. Bye bye

CLINIC: Planned Parenthood. This is Irma. How can I help you?

CALLER: Hi. Yeah. I was wondering if you guys do abortions there.

CLINIC: We do first trimester abortions here, which is only within the first three months.

CALLER: Okay, well, like my last period was like the first week in December.

CLINIC: Like what day did it start?

CALLER: I think it was like — I’m not real sure but it was probably like maybe the 3rd.

CLINIC: About the 3rd of December or January?

CALLER: Of December.

CLINIC: Of December?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay. Okay, according to that then right now you would be about almost 11 weeks.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Right here at this clinic we don’t do abortions that often. We usually have them only twice a month, and I believe for this month we already are booked for abortions. Our next clinic won’t be until sometime the first day of March.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: So probably by then, you know, you would probably be at the borderline or past the time for us to do your abortion here.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: So what I would suggest would be for you to try the Los Angeles Planned Parenthood and their affiliate clinics.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: See if they would be able to see you, you know, sooner. They usually do them more often.

CALLER: Oh. Do you know the number for that?

CLINIC: Uh-huh. It’s area code 323-226-0800.

CALLER: Do you know if there’s like an age limit to have an abortion or anything?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: Because like I’ll be 14 in March.

CLINIC: No. There’s no age requirement. No.

CALLER: Would they have to tell my parents or anything?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: All right. Well, because like my parents can’t find out or anything because my boyfriend’s 22 and like they hate him because they think he’s too old for me. But I don’t know. But they wouldn’t have to tell anybody or anything?

CLINIC: No. Everything is confidential.

CALLER: Okay. Well, like say that I wasn’t pregnant, do you guys do birth control there?

CLINIC: Yes. Uh-huh.

CALLER: And you wouldn’t have to tell anybody about birth control either?

CLINIC: Right. Everything’s confidential, um-hum.

CALLER: Would my boyfriend be able to take me and that would be all right?

CLINIC: Um-hum. Yes. Uh-huh.

CALLER: Okay. Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: So if I had any other questions could I call and talk to you?

CLINIC: Sure, um-hum.

CALLER: All right. Okay.

CLINIC: Okay.

CALLER: Thanks.

CLINIC: Bye.

CALLER: Bye.
