TAPE - 154
(dialing sound) (ringing 2X)
CLINIC: Planned Parenthood. This is Irma. How can I help you?
CALLER: Hi. Yeah. I was wondering if you guys do abortions there.
CLINIC: We do first trimester abortions here, which is only within the first three months.
CALLER: Okay, well, like my last period was like the first week in December.
CLINIC: Like what day did it start?
CALLER: I think it was like -- I'm not real sure but it was probably like maybe the 3rd.
CLINIC: About the 3rd of December or January?
CALLER: Of December.
CLINIC: Of December?
CALLER: Yeah.
CLINIC: Okay. Okay, according to that then right now you would be about almost 11 weeks.
CALLER: Okay.
CLINIC: Right here at this clinic we don't do abortions that often. We usually have them only twice a month, and I believe for this month we already are booked for abortions. Our next clinic won't be until sometime the first day of March.
CALLER: Okay.
CLINIC: So probably by then, you know, you would probably be at the borderline or past the time for us to do your abortion here.
CALLER: Okay.
CLINIC: So what I would suggest would be for you to try the Los Angeles Planned Parenthood and their affiliate clinics.
CALLER: Okay.
CLINIC: See if they would be able to see you, you know, sooner. They usually do them more often.
CALLER: Oh. Do you know the number for that?
CLINIC: Uh-huh. It's area code 323-226-0800.
CALLER: Do you know if there's like an age limit to have an abortion or anything?
CLINIC: No.
CALLER: Because like I'll be 14 in March.
CLINIC: No. There's no age requirement. No.
CALLER: Would they have to tell my parents or anything?
CLINIC: No.
CALLER: All right. Well, because like my parents can't find out or anything because my boyfriend's 22 and like they hate him because they think he's too old for me. But I don't know. But they wouldn't have to tell anybody or anything?
CLINIC: No. Everything is confidential.
CALLER: Okay. Well, like say that I wasn't pregnant, do you guys do birth control there?
CLINIC: Yes. Uh-huh.
CALLER: And you wouldn't have to tell anybody about birth control either?
CLINIC: Right. Everything's confidential, um-hum.
CALLER: Would my boyfriend be able to take me and that would be all right?
CLINIC: Um-hum. Yes. Uh-huh.
CALLER: Okay. Okay.
CLINIC: Okay?
CALLER: So if I had any other questions could I call and talk to you?
CLINIC: Sure, um-hum.
CALLER: All right. Okay.
CLINIC: Okay.
CALLER: Thanks.
CLINIC: Bye.
CALLER: Bye.
