CLINIC: Planned Parenthood. Cedar Springs Office. Kathy speaking.
CALLER: Hi. I was wondering if you guys do abortions there.
CLINIC: No, we don’t.
CALLER: Do you know of anyone that does?
CLINIC: I think we have that information. Hold on just a second.
CALLER: All right.
(Pause)
CLINIC: We do have a list. If you want to stop in the office, we can give that information to you. But we don’t normally give that over the phone.
CALLER: Oh, okay.
CLINIC: Okay?
CALLER: Is it possible to get a pregnancy test there?
CLINIC: Yes.
CALLER: Okay. And is there like an age limit for that or anything? I’ll be 14 in March.
CLINIC: No, there isn’t. You don’t have to make an appointment or anything for that.
CALLER: Well, do my parents have to sign anything? My boyfriend’s 22. Could he sign whatever it is?
CLINIC: No. We don’t have to have anything signed. You can come in anytime.
CALLER: Is it all right if my boyfriend brings me?
CLINIC: Sure.
CALLER: Okay. If it ended up that I wasn’t pregnant, do you guys have birth control there?
CLINIC: Yes. And we would have to reschedule you for an appointment so you can get the exam and all that.
CALLER: But you guys don’t have to tell anybody about me being on birth control either?
CLINIC: No. Everything is confidential.
CALLER: Okay.
CLINIC: Okay?
CALLER: Do my parents have to say it’s okay for me to have an abortion?
CLINIC: I don’t know the rules on that. You’d have to talk to the people that we give you the phone numbers to.
CALLER: Oh, okay.
CLINIC: Okay?
CALLER: All right.
CLINIC: Thanks.
CALLER: Thanks.
CLINIC: Bye.
CALLER: Bye.
