CALLER: Hi. Yeah. I was calling to see if you guys do abortions there?

CLINIC: Yes, we do.

CALLER: Okay. Well how much does cost for that?

CLINIC: If you are within the first trimester it is $350.

CALLER: How do you know which trimester you are?

CLINIC: It’s done in 13.5 weeks.

CALLER: My last period was January 3.

CLINIC: January 3? Okay. Right now it’s March. Okay, you’re within 9 weeks right now.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: According to that date that you gave me.

CALLER: Yeah. So how much would it cost then?

CLINIC: $350.

CALLER: Okay. Well, do you know — it’s just, the thing is I’m going to be 14 like later on this month, and my friend told me that you guys would have to tell my parents if I’m getting an abortion. But my boyfriend’s 22. Is he old enough to take care of everything and you won’t have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: You know what?

CALLER: What?

CLINIC: When is it you’re turning 14?

CALLER: On the 19th.

CLINIC: Of this month?

CALLER: Uh-huh.

CLINIC: Let me see. Hold on, okay? March. Is he paying cash?

CALLER: Uh-huh.

CLINIC: Okay, by then you’ll be like 11, between 11 and 12 weeks. Is he taking you here, or —

CALLER: Yeah. He’d be the only way I could get there. Is that all right?

CLINIC: If you came, if you paid cash you can give any age you want.

CALLER: Okay. And then that way you wouldn’t have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: Exactly.

CALLER: Okay. All right. Well, would you guys like do a pregnancy test beforehand or — it’s just I haven’t taken one yet.

CLINIC: We do that, and if we have to do ultrasound we will also.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: But is there any way do you think that I’m not pregnant though?

CLINIC: I think you are pregnant. If you haven’t get your period. If you want to come in and get a pregnancy test, it’s free.

CALLER: Okay. For free?

CLINIC: Uh-huh.

CALLER: Okay. When do you guys normally do that?

CLINIC: Well, you can come in any time from 8:30 to 4:30.

CALLER: Today?

CLINIC: Um-hum.

CALLER: Oh. Well, do you have any other day? It’s just, my boyfriend is at work today.

CLINIC: It’s Monday through Friday.

CALLER: Okay. All right.

CLINIC: All right?

CALLER: So, well if it ended up that I wasn’t pregnant, do you guys do birth control there?

CLINIC: We do, but we recommend you go to the public health clinics because they give you for free.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: And we charge.

CALLER: But would they have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: No. Even in school. At school?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: If you’re in school you can ask for birth control or to recommend you to one of those clinics.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: All right. So if I had any other questions, could I call and ask for you? What was your name?

CLINIC: Lupe.

CALLER: Okay. Thanks.

CLINIC: You’re welcome.

CALLER: Bye.

CLINIC: Bye bye.

CLINIC: Thanks for calling Planned Parenthood of Ventura this is Isabella. How can I help you?

CALLER: Hi. Yeah. I was calling to see if you guys do abortions there?

CLINIC: Yes, we do.

CALLER: Oh. Well, do you know if you have to be like — well, I’m going to be 14 later on this month and my friend told me you guys would have to tell my parents. But my boyfriend is 22. Is he old enough to take care of it and you wouldn’t have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: Okay, when you come in for services here all our services are confidential. We wouldn’t need to include your parents or your boyfriend.

CALLER: Okay. It’s just my boyfriend — we were all talking about this and he said that he would pay for everything, but would he have to —

CLINIC: That’s fine, but he doesn’t — he has no involvement. I mean, you’ll be the patient.

CALLER: Okay. How much is it going to cost?

CLINIC: It runs anywhere from $350 to $475.

CALLER: Okay. It’s just, the thing is I haven’t had my period since like December 26, and that’s the main reason why I’m wondering about all this.

CLINIC: Okay. Well, you can come in for a pregnancy test on Tuesday between 4 and 6 and they’ll explain, they’ll do a pregnancy test and then explain your options and if you decide to terminate they’ll explain the procedure to you.

CALLER: Okay. So if the pregnancy test came out that I wasn’t pregnant I could get birth control there?

CLINIC: Yes, you can.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: But not on that time slot. Okay?

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: So why don’t you come in between 4 and 6, and then if everything’s good then we can make you an appointment for that same week to come in for birth control.

CALLER: Okay. But would anyone have to know if I was on birth control though?

CLINIC: All information is confidential. The only way they would know is if they went through your stuff. They call us, we can’t say anything.

CALLER: Okay. You want me to come in at 4?

CLINIC: It’s best if you come in at 4.

CALLER: Okay. I have to call my boyfriend to see, but is it all right if he comes with me?

CLINIC: That’s fine.

CALLER: Okay. I wouldn’t have any other way to get there. All right. Thank you.

CLINIC: All right then. Bye bye.
