CLINIC: Good afternoon, Planned Parenthood, (unclear). How may I help you?
CALLER: Hi. I was wondering if you guys do abortions there?
CLINIC: Yes, we do.
CALLER: How much does it cost?
CLINIC: 460 for the procedure, but that does not include your options counseling and pregnancy test.
CALLER: Okay. What does the options cost or whatever?
CLINIC: The what? Options counseling and pregnancy test?
CALLER: Uh-huh.
CLINIC: It’s based upon your income and family size.
CALLER: Okay. So they have to know about my family?
CLINIC: No. They have to know — if you’re working, you have to bring in a pay stub and a picture i.d. That’s what we mean by based upon your income and family size, meaning how many does that support.
CALLER: Well, I don’t have a job or anything. I’m going to be 14 in March.
CLINIC: Do you have any insurance?
CALLER: Well, my boyfriend said he was going to pay for it. He’s got a job and everything. He’s 22.
CLINIC: Okay. Probably it will be anywhere from 477 for everything.
CALLER: So you guys don’t have to tell my parents or anybody at all?
CLINIC: No, nothing at all, sweetheart.
CALLER: Okay.
CLINIC: All right?
CALLER: It’s just they can’t find out at all.
CLINIC: Everything done here is confidential.
CALLER: Do you guys do birth control there?
CLINIC: Yes, we do.
CALLER: And you wouldn’t have to tell anybody about that either?
CLINIC: No. Everything done here is confidential.
CALLER: All right.
CLINIC: All right?
CALLER: It is okay, like if my boyfriend has a question, if I can call you back?
CLINIC: Yeah.
CALLER: Yeah? Is it all right if I talk to you? What was your name?
CLINIC: Celia (ph).
CALLER: Celia?
CLINIC: Yes.
CALLER: All right. Okay. Thanks.
CLINIC: You’re welcome. Bye bye.
CALLER: Bye.
