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

CLINIC: Not at this facility. Would you like the phone number of our other clinic?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: Okay. It's, the phone number is 798-0706.

CALLER: Okay. Well, like my friend told me that you guys have to tell my parents before I can have an abortion. Is that true?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: No?

CLINIC: No. Everything here is confidential. We don't tell anybody anything.

CALLER: Well, it's just like my parents can't find out at all because like, well my boyfriend's 22, and we're planning on getting married, but like my parents absolutely hate him because they think he's too old for me.

CLINIC: Um-hum.

CALLER: So.

CLINIC: Well, that's fine. Everything here is confidential. We don't release any information unless you give us permission to.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Do you know like if -- like say I wasn't pregnant. Do you guys do birth control there?

CLINIC: We did. You could come in and have a test and if the test is negative then we can set you up an appointment to come in for birth control.

CALLER: Okay, and you guys wouldn't have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: No. Don't have to tell anybody.

CALLER: All right. Well, is there like an age limit for birth control or anything? Because I'll be 14 in March?

CLINIC: A what? No.

CALLER: No?

CLINIC: You can come in. It's okay.

CALLER: All right.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Well, do you like -- I need to talk to my boyfriend and see if he has any other questions. But is it all right if I call you back and ask you?

CLINIC: Yes.

CALLER: Okay.
