(Students for Life<\/a>, Christina Doell) —\u00a0<\/em>When I decided that I couldn\u2019t go through with my scheduled abortion, I called Planned Parenthood in Indianapolis, IN and cancelled my appointment. I then proceeded to seek out information on pregnancy care with the lady over the phone.<\/p>\n

I just assumed since Planned Parenthood claimed to be a women\u2019s health clinic that they could offer me the care I was in need of. The representative on the other end of the phone rudely responded that Planned Parenthood did not provide that care.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, fine\u201d I thought, slightly irritated.<\/p>\n

So, I then went on to ask her where I could receive care. She simply stated that she could not direct me anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay\u2026\u201d I responded and then simply thanked her and hung up the phone.<\/p>\n

I was scared and had no idea where to go. So, I ended up going a few months without receiving any care. I did not know that I was supposed to take prenatal vitamins or not eat lunch meat. And thankfully I was able to get the care that I needed in my pregnancy crisis situation, but it was no thanks to Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n
