Abortion Services & Patient Rights

Abortion is an option. Adoption is an option. Parenting is an option. In life, we have options and choices.

Sometimes we don’t like any of our options, but we have to pick one. No matter the decision made around an unexpected pregnancy, it is important to know that you have rights as a patient and your health is critically important. We recommend that you start with a full medical evaluation of your pregnancy. This includes an ultrasound and STD screening. To make the best decision, we believe you need accurate information.

As a patient, we also recommend you realize you have certain rights as you go through this process. 

 Here are some rights we believe you have:

• •  The right to be treated with courtesy and respect.
  • The right to receive compassionate medical care with respect to your personal and spiritual beliefs.
  • The right to have things clearly explained with accurate information for questions you may ask.
  • The right to receive care in a secure and private environment where your privacy is protected.
  • The right to make a decision free of coercion.
  • The right to impartial medical treatment regardless of race, religion, handicap or sexual orientation.
  • And more.

You are important. Your health is important.

To get the best care possible, we recommend you advocate for yourself in the following ways:

• • You provide accurate and complete information about present complaints, past illnesses, hospitalizations, medications, and other matters relating to his or her health, especially as it pertains to the situation you are requesting information about.
  • You ask questions for anything you do not understand.
  • You provide feedback about comprehending the care you are seeking and ask appropriate questions for further clarification until you feel confident in your knowledge of it.
  • You are responsible to follow the treatment plan recommended for the proper outcome.
  • You make the final decision if you want to accept or refuse treatments being recommended.

Deciding what to do about an unexpected pregnancy is not like any other decision you are going to make in life. We know that you know that and you don’t make this decision lightly. We realize this is weighing on you and we are here to support you as you walk through the next days, weeks, and months.
