She was told she was in her first trimester...
A client stopped by our clinic because Planned Parenthood would not give her an ultrasound. She saw our big purple Stanton Mobile and decided to knock on our doors to see if we could help. They told her she was in her first trimester of pregnancy. When we scanned her she was well into her second trimester….
Why are we sharing this?
Planned Parenthood performs abortions and they are not providing other services that they claim they do
If this client was abortion-minded she would have been sent home with abortion pills which she should not have been sent home with in the first place as abortion pills are not supposed to be prescribed past ten weeks of pregnancy.
She could have had extreme complications because she is well into her second trimester of pregnancy. She would have been left with no hope.
California does not have any laws that require a woman to have an ultrasound prior to having an abortion. THIS IS DANGEROUS for both her and her baby. At Stanton, she was able to see her baby at no charge because of supporters like you. She was able to hear the heart beat and she exclaimed “oh my gosh my baby is so big!!” She had no idea until she was able to see her baby in our clinic.
After her ultrasound, we provided her with additional resources in our community and she walked away feeling cared for. That is healthcare. Women deserve better than what this client was originally given. With your support we provide women hope. We allow them to see their baby. If they need spiritual or emotional support we sit with them and provide care.
