CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay. It’s area code 909-682-8540.

CALLER: All right. Well, can I ask you a quick question?

CLINIC: You sure can.

CALLER: Well, 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: All our services are confidential, especially when you come to Planned Parenthood.

CALLER: Okay. It’s just, the problem is like my boyfriend’s 22, and we’re in love and we’re planning on getting married, but like they can’t tell my parents at all.

CLINIC: No. Without your consent, no, they can’t.

CALLER: But like she said that I have to tell you guys that I’m 14. Well, I’ll be 14 in March.

CLINIC: That has nothing to do with it.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Unless you’re like 11 or 10 years old. Then it’s a different story.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: If you’re over the age of 11, they definitely will not tell your parents.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay? All your services are confidential.

CALLER: Oh, all right. If like I did — I ended up not being pregnant, do you guys — like do you do birth control there?

CLINIC: Oh, definitely. Yeah, you can come back, even after you have your termination you can come back here for your followup exam and for your birth control method.

CALLER: And you guys don’t have to tell anybody or anything about it?

CLINIC: No, never. Yeah.

CALLER: All right. Is it like —

CLINIC: We’re confidential.

CALLER: Is it okay if my boyfriend comes and — well, if he takes me?

CLINIC: That’s fine, but he won’t be able to go in the exam room with you.

CALLER: Okay, but I wouldn’t have to tell anybody about him?

CLINIC: No. You wouldn’t have to tell anybody about him unless you wanted to.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay, bye bye.

CALLER: Is it okay if I call you back? Because I have to ask him something, but can I call you back to ask you what he thinks after that? Like I need to ask him something to ask you, but. Could I call you?

CLINIC: Yeah, you can call back.

CALLER: Okay. Well, what was your name?
