Although I did not have to get an exam. I remember seeing carts in the hallways with a lot of medical equipment on them. Again, I didn't really think much about it then, I was so unaware. I appreciate you sharing your story Rachel. Their name truly is deceiving.

But I called numerous places trying to find somewhere else that gives it to you for free (in Dallas and where I lived in Idaho the health department provided birth control for poor people, but I couldn't find anyone in Salem that knew of a place that did that, even when I called the health department!) I sucked it up and went to Planned Parenthood. I thought it was the weirdest place, I don't know about when/where you went, but where I went, on the forms you fill out it asked what gender you were (leaving an option for "other") AND what pronoun you wanted to be refered to as. I really, REALLY wanted to put something absurd just to be obnoxious. I had not had an exam for a couple years, so they told me they would give me one prescription, but if I wanted more I would need to come get an exam. I scheduled one, then when it was almost time for the appointment, I had a horrible thought. They probably kill babies in the same room they were going to examine me in. I called, and asked them point blank if they did exams in the same room they murdered babies (pretty sure this was my exact word choice) and when they said they did, I canceled my appointment and drove to Dallas next time I needed birth control. I hate Planned Parenthood, and I think they should be required to change their name, or start providing services that involve fertility treatments, prenatal, and infant care. Because they are NOT helping plan parenthood, they are helping destroy it...Wife, Then Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637174631322228369noreply@blogger.com
