CLINIC: Planned Parenthood.

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

CLINIC: Uh-uh, only Maryville.

CALLER: Do you have that phone number?

CLINIC: Uh-huh– 769-3500.

CALLER: My friend said that you guys have to tell my parents. I’ll be 14 in March, but —

CLINIC: Oh, your mom has to take you or they won’t do it.

CALLER: Really? I can’t let my parents find out at all. They hate my boyfriend; they think he’s too old for me. But he’s only 22.

CLINIC: Oh, no. Your mom or dad has to go with you.

CALLER: But they can’t find out at all? What could I do?

CLINIC: Well, you can’t get it done in Indiana?

CALLER: Yeah?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: Huh?

CLINIC: You can’t get it done in the state of Indiana without your parent.

CALLER: Okay. So where can I go then?

CLINIC: You can call Chicago Planned Parenthood.

CALLER: Really? Do you have that phone number?

CLINIC: Not right off hand. But if I put you on hold, I can find it.

CALLER: Oh, okay. Could I come there for the pregnancy test though?

CLINIC: You sure can.

CALLER: Would you have to tell anybody about that?

CLINIC: No, ma’am.

CALLER: Would it be all right if my boyfriend brings me?

CLINIC: Uh-hmm.

CALLER: Okay. Could you give me the Chicago number actually?

CLINIC: Hold on.

CALLER: Okay.

(Long pause)

CLINIC: Hello?

CALLER: Uh-huh.

CLINIC: Let me see. Chicago on North LaSalle, no parental consent or notification required. The number is 1-312-266-1033.

CALLER: Okay. If I came in and got the pregnancy test and it was negative, do you guys have birth control there?

CLINIC: You know what? You would have to make an appointment for an exam.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: All right?

CALLER: Is it all right if I call my boyfriend and then call you back for that?

CLINIC: Yes.

CALLER: What was your name?

CLINIC: Marcia.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: All right.

CALLER: Thanks.

CLINIC: Bye bye.

CALLER: Bye.
