Planned Parenthood. Can I help you?

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

CLINIC: No, we don't. That would be at another number.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: It's 446-6921.

CALLER: Okay. Where is that exactly?

CLINIC: It is on 21st and O Street.

CALLER: Oh. Well, do you know -- I'm just afraid because like my friend told me that, like I'm going to be 14 in March, and she said that they 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 they wouldn't have to tell anybody?

CLINIC: You would have to call them.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Well, could I come in there for a pregnancy test?

CLINIC: Yeah. We do that service until 4:00.

CALLER: Okay. But would you have to tell anybody about that?

CLINIC: No. Okay?

CALLER: It's just, the thing is, I can't drive or anything. My boyfriend would be the only way I could get there. Would it be all right if he was there with me?

CLINIC: I -- I mean, you know, we don't go checking (laughs) to see who's with you, but, you know -- but, yeah, we do that until 4:00.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Well, if it turned out that I wasn't pregnant, could I get birth control there?

CLINIC: We do that service until 3:00.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Well, would you have to tell anybody if I was on birth control though?

CLINIC: No, they wouldn't.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Well, let me call my boyfriend and call you back to see. What was your name?

CLINIC: It's Gloria.

CALLER: Okay. Thanks.

CLINIC: Um-hum. Bye bye.
