CLINIC: This is Eileen. May I help you?

CALLER: Hi. Yeah. I was wondering if I could ask some questions about getting an abortion?

CLINIC: Certainly. For yourself?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay.

CALLER: Well, it’s just — I’m just really scared. I don’t know. But my friend told me that since like I’ll be 14 in March and she said that my parents would have to sign some stuff, but my boyfriend’s 22. Is he old enough to take care of that?

CLINIC: No. The law says parent or legal guardian.

CALLER: Oh.

CLINIC: Yeah. In Missouri.

CALLER: Well —

CLINIC: What do you think would happen if you told your parents?

CALLER: I don’t know. They would — they don’t — if they found out I was having sex they would — I don’t know what would happen. They would be furious.

CLINIC: Really? And then they’d get over it, or —

CALLER: I don’t know. I don’t know what they would do.

CLINIC: You can go to Illinois. There’s a clinic in Granite City, and Illinois at this point doesn’t need parental consent.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Can your boyfriend — if he’s 22, then he can get you over there, right?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay. You both want to do this?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: You’re both in agreement on this?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: All right. Let me give you their number. You got a pen ready?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: It’s an 800 number so it won’t cost you to call there.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Wait, I’m looking for it. Hold on. Where are my phone numbers?

CALLER: I’m just really scared because like — well I don’t know if I am pregnant really, but like I’ve missed my period like the last time I had my period was like December 14. I’m just really worried.

CLINIC: Well, you need to go to the drugstore and get yourself a pregnancy test. They’re about $10 or so.

CALLER: Are they accurate though?

CLINIC: Yeah, they’re very accurate.

CALLER: Oh.

CLINIC: Is there a phone number list? I can’t seem to find it. Yeah, they’re very accurate. Oh, here it is. I got it. Never mind. Hope Clinic, 1-800-844-3130.

CALLER: Okay. Well, could I come in there for a pregnancy test? I would just rather have someone else do it.

CLINIC: Let me connect you to the health center. They have a free teen clinic.

CALLER: Oh. Well, I just was wanting to ask some —

CLINIC: Where do you live?

CALLER: I live in Eureka.

CLINIC: Eureka. South? Is that south or north?

CALLER: It’s south.

CLINIC: Yeah. Well, there’s a Planned Parenthood on South Grand.

CALLER: Uh-huh.

CLINIC: And there’s one on —

CALLER: Well, my friend just told me to call you guys.

CLINIC: Okay.

CALLER: She said that it would be better to go to you for some reason. I don’t know. But —

CLINIC: We’ll be glad to run a pregnancy test. That’s $10. If you just want to do that. December 13 makes you about — you sure you had a good period in December?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: That makes you now about 10, almost 11 weeks.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: And so you’re still in your first trimester. But you know, pregnancy is divided into three parts.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: You’re still in the first part, but you’re getting closer to the second part of your pregnancy when the price gets more.

CALLER: Oh.

CLINIC: So —

CALLER: It’s just my boyfriend doesn’t want anybody to know, so.

CLINIC: Okay. All right. Well, then let him go get you a pregnancy test at Walgreen’s. And you can run it yourself, and if it comes out positive you call Hope Clinic. And I’d get in there as soon as possible.

CALLER: Okay. Well, would they have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: If it was negative, could I come in and get like birth control?

CLINIC: Yeah. Then you call the health center, absolutely. Then you call the same number and you do extension 549.

CALLER: 549?

CLINIC: Yeah, but I don’t know what’s closer to you. If you’re in Ballwin?

CALLER: I just don’t want anybody to know.

CLINIC: Oh, so you’d rather come down here?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay. Yeah. If it’s negative then you make an appointment for birth control. Ask them for the free teen clinic.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: See, you go get your own pregnancy test then it’s quicker and then you can get into Hope Clinic quicker.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: You have to be sure you’re pregnant. Okay?

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Well, do you know if anybody has to know about me and my boyfriend or anything?

CALLER: Not in Illinois.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Here your mother would have to know.

CALLER: She would have to know if I got like birth control there?

CLINIC: No. No. Nobody has to know about birth control. You don’t need parental consent to get birth control.

CALLER: Okay. And nobody has to know about my boyfriend or anything?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: He’s just worried.

CLINIC: Yeah. No. He’s a little old for you though, isn’t he?

CALLER: Oh, I don’t know.

CLINIC: You’re 13?

CALLER: Yeah. But why do you say that?

CLINIC: He’s 22?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Yeah, well, that’s kind of a big difference when you’re 13. That’s what I was thinking.

CALLER: Oh.

CLINIC: Does he know? I mean, are you going to use birth control after this now?

CALLER: Well, yeah. We don’t want to have to go through all this again.

CLINIC: Right. Right. Well, does your mom know him?

CALLER: Well, she doesn’t know we’re having sex. I mean, she knows him.

CLINIC: Uh-huh.

CALLER: He used to work with my dad. But —

CLINIC: I see. Well, you’ve got to really take care of yourself, hon. You get yourself — really. Let me go to Walgreen’s and buy it for you or you — you know, or you can go buy it, and then run it, and then you get yourself to Hope Clinic, and then you go — I guess they’ll get you started on some pills or something, whatever you think you want, because you could take something right after the abortion.

CALLER: Okay. Well, do you think if I was on — like if I got birth control that he could pick them up because I can’t drive. I don’t have any way to get there.

CLINIC: If it’s negative, you mean?

CALLER: Right.

CLINIC: He’d have to bring you over.

CALLER: Well, like could he pick up the like birth control pills or whatever?

CLINIC: No, because you’ve got to sign for them.

CALLER: Oh.

CLINIC: He would have to bring you here to pick them up.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: But nobody would have to know anything?

CLINIC: Not with birth control. You don’t have to tell the parents for birth control.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: And your name was Eileen?

CLINIC: Eileen, uh-huh.

CALLER: All right, thanks.

CLINIC: Thank you. Bye.

CLINIC: Planned Parenthood. Can I help you?

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

CLINIC: They do down at the Center West End (ph) office.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Let me give you that number– 314-531-7526. Then you want to talk to the Reproductive Health Center.

CALLER: Okay. Well, is it all right if I ask you a couple quick questions?

CLINIC: Sure.

CALLER: My last period was like December 14th, and I’m just scared.

CLINIC: Have you had a pregnancy test?

CALLER: No.

CLINIC: No?

CALLER: No.

CLINIC: That’s what you need to do first.

CALLER: Well, could I come in there for that?

CLINIC: Uh-huh. They’re $10.

CALLER: Okay. Do you have to be like a specific age? My friend told me that — I’ll be 14 in March, and she said that you guys would have to tell my parents if I’m getting an abortion. My boyfriend’s 22. Is he old enough to take care of that, and nobody would have to tell anybody about anything?

CLINIC: That’s a question for Reproductive Health Services. I do think that you have to have parental consent at your age at Reproductive Health Services. Now, I do think there is a clinic in Alton called the Hope Clinic for Women. I do not think you have to have parental consent there.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay? But you first need to make sure you’re pregnant, get a pregnancy test first of all.

CALLER: I really want my boyfriend to be there. Is that okay if he’s there with me?

CLINIC: When we do the pregnancy test?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah?

CLINIC: You can come in anytime today up until 5:30, or tomorrow you can come in anytime up until 3:30.

CALLER: Well, my friend said that you guys would have to tell on my boyfriend if he came in.

CLINIC: Would have to what?

CALLER: Would have to tell on my boyfriend if he came in. Would he get in trouble if he was there with me?

CLINIC: (Pause) He’s 22?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: You know what? I would not bring him in.

CALLER: Just don’t bring him at all.

CLINIC: That’s right.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Forget that you told me that.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Well, if I wasn’t pregnant after you guys do the pregnancy test, could you do birth control?

CLINIC: Um-hmm.

CALLER: Well, how soon would I be able to get that?

CLINIC: Well, the next available appointment. And I think that’s probably about a week or maybe two weeks.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: But if I was on birth control, would anybody have to know?

CLINIC: No. We do give birth control without parental consent.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Absolutely we do.

CALLER: Well, if I had any other questions that I didn’t think of just now, could I call you and talk to you?

CLINIC: Uh-huh. But are you going to come in today for a pregnancy test?

CALLER: Well, I don’t know. I’d have to call my boyfriend and see when he can take me because I don’t know how else to get there.

CLINIC: Oh, okay.

CALLER: Could I call and talk to you? You’re just nice. What was your name?

CLINIC: Kathy. You can call.

CALLER: Okay. Thank you.

CLINIC: Okay. You’re welcome.

CALLER: Bye.

CLINIC: No, we don’t.

CALLER: Oh, okay. Well, do you know of anybody that does?

CLINIC: Um-hmm. Where are you located?

CALLER: Okay. Is it all right if I ask you a couple of questions real quick?

CLINIC: Sure.

CALLER: It’s just I’m scared, and I don’t know what to do. My friend told me that — I’ll be 14 in March, and she said that you guys would have to tell my parents I’m getting an abortion. But my boyfriend’s 22. Is he old enough to take care of it, and nobody would have to know?

CLINIC: I don’t know. You’d have to talk with Columbia.

CALLER: Oh, all right.

CLINIC: I don’t know what their stipulations are.

CALLER: Well, I’m worried about all this because my parents don’t like him, and they think he’s too old for me. But I don’t understand that. He’s only 22. I’m just scared. Because my last period was December 14th, and I don’t know. Could I get a pregnancy test there?

CLINIC: Have you already taken one?

CALLER: No, not yet.

CLINIC: Are your periods usually normal?

CALLER: Usually.

CALLER: Oh.

CLINIC: Yeah. When was your last one?

CALLER: It was December 14th.

CLINIC: That was the first day of it?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay. Well, that’s going to put you about — you’re about 11 weeks almost.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: They’ll do one there too. Wherever you decide to go, they’ll run one.

CALLER: Oh. Well, my friend just told me to go to you guys because that’s where she went.

CLINIC: We can run one. We can do that. You haven’t taken like a home test?

CALLER: No.

CLINIC: Yeah, we can run one. That’s fine.

CALLER: Okay. Well, would you guys have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: No. You’re in the city? You do whatever you want.

CALLER: Well, I just really don’t want anyone to see me or anything. I want my boyfriend to be there with me. Is that okay?

CLINIC: Uh-huh.

CALLER: Yeah?

CLINIC: Yeah.

CALLER: He’s just worried that you guys would ask a whole bunch of questions about him.

CLINIC: Oh, no. No. We wouldn’t do anything like that. When would you like to come in?

CALLER: I don’t know. I’d have to call my boyfriend to see.

CLINIC: Okay. Why don’t you just do that, and then call us back.

CALLER: Okay. Do you have any hours tomorrow?

CLINIC: Uh-huh. You can come in anytime tomorrow and just have a test.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: That will be fine. If you want to call us and tell us what time, and we can write it down, whatever you want to do.

CALLER: If the pregnancy test ends up being negative, could I have birth control?

CLINIC: Can you?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: We would have to make you an appointment to have an exam.

CALLER: How old do you have to be for that, to get birth control?

CLINIC: You’re fine. Your age is fine.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: If I had any other questions, could I call you? What was your name?

CLINIC: Sure. My name is Terry, but you can speak with anyone in the clinic. That would be fine. Or if you come in tomorrow, we can sit down and talk to you too. Okay?

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: All right.

CALLER: Good morning, Planned Parenthood. This is Julie. Can I help you?

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

CLINIC: No, we do not. But I can give you referral places if you’d like to call them.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay. Hold on.

(Pause)

CLINIC: Okay. You may want to give them a call. I’m thinking Columbia does it. The number in Columbia Clinic is 573-443-0427. And then I can give you a couple others that are a little further off. There’s one is St. Louis, is 1-800-419-0301. And there’s one in Overland Park, Kansas, 1-800-227-1918.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: And Granite City, Illinois, which is just outside of St. Louis. It’s 1-800-844-3130. Try the Columbia Clinic first though because I think they may do them now.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: Okay.

CALLER: Well, could I ask you a quick question?

CALLER: I’m just really scared about all this. My last period was December 14th, and I’m usually pretty regular, and I’m just scared. My friend told me that since I’ll be 14 in March that you guys have to tell my parents I’m getting an abortion. But my boyfriend’s 22. Is he old enough to take care of it, and you wouldn’t have to say anything about anything?

CLINIC: You know what I would do? I would call these clinics and ask them, because we don’t deal with that; they do.

CALLER: I was wondering if you guys did the pregnancy test there?

CLINIC: We do pregnancy tests. Yes, we do.

CALLER: I really wanted my boyfriend to be there with me. But is that all right?

CLINIC: Yes, he can come. The only thing I’m going to say is we are booked today with more or less appointments. If you’d want to come in tomorrow, it might work a little better for us, if you could wait until tomorrow for a pregnancy test.

CALLER: What time tomorrow?

CLINIC: Anytime you want to come in is fine. Anytime during the day. I’ll be here from 9 in the morning until about 5:00 that night. And then as for the question about — you had another question. I would call those clinics and ask them.

CALLER: Well, if the pregnancy test was negative, could I get birth control there?

CLINIC: You can, but you’d have to see the nurse practitioner, and you’d have to make an appointment for that. She’s only here Monday and Thursday, but we could make an appointment if you’d like when you come in for that.

CALLER: Is there any problem with my boyfriend picking up the birth control? Because I can’t drive.

CLINIC: Well, we can’t give that to you until the nurse practitioner sees you and you actually have what we call an initial visit with her.

CALLER: Okay. Well, like after that?

CLINIC: If you give the okay for him to do it, and you sign a piece of paper, he can pick up the pills for you, yes.

CALLER: Okay. But you guys wouldn’t have to tell anybody that I was there or getting birth control or anything?

CLINIC: Right, uh-huh. But what I would do is I would call if you have questions regarding that concerning — the facilities that I just gave you, I would call them and ask them if they are confidential also.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: So you wouldn’t have to tell anybody anything?

CLINIC: Right, uh-huh.

CALLER: He’s just really worried about people saying a whole bunch of stuff.

CLINIC: No, that’s confidential.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay.
